Sebastian read half of a chapter book last Saturday morning. He read half because a parent read every other page. But he was gripped and motivated and it was a thrill to see and be a part of. OK, so it wasn't the greatest novel in the world (one of the very plain Magic Treehouse series), but it has characters and plot and tension and words to sound out. He was thrilled, as were we (thus the blog post!).
He is reading another almost as fast yesterday and today - we just don't have the time to sit with him as much. Perhaps he will tackle one by himself before the end of the holidays, though I sense that he likes the companionship of reading aloud.
To reward all that perseverance, he got to dip into the 'book bag'.
