My kids (younger) love flipping through books. But when my oldest started reading it took her a long time to make the transition to start to READ the books and not just flip through them to figure out the story using the pictures:) As a new homeschooler, I was a little worried that in teaching reading I missed something... and I guess for this little girl I did. One day during reading time I sat net to her on the couch and asked her to read to me. And sure enough she started reading the words (not just the pictures). I had to tend to a younger sibling and she was disappointed that she "couldn't finish the story" and I asked the question "why". Somehow she thought reading stopped when the audience went away, She stayed on the couch another 30 minutes reading to herself... great for a 5 yr old!! And she's been reading words ever since. It's just soo cool to see:) .-= Kelly @ In Everything´s last blog ..<a href="http://seethefam.blogspot.com/2009/10/saturday-sentendes-teach-your-babies.html" rel="nofollow">Saturday Sentences - Teach your babies</a> =-.
