I've been reading chapter books with the kids, and overseeing their reading of other books. I thought I'd brief you on the list as it currently stands:
My son, 6, is having "Charlotte's Web" read to him, and he just bought the "Surf's Up" chapter book, so we'll be starting that soon.
Younger daughter, 8, is reading and having read to her "Because of Winn-Dixie" and has brought to me Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World" to finish reading. We just finished chapter 8, which is half the number of chapters. Woohoo!
My oldest, 10, is reading, alone, her second Nancy Drew mystery book, "The Hidden Staircase." Yay! Along with, she's doing a report on hurricanes, a subject that is very important to her, having "survived" Charley, Frances, and Jeanne when she was 8. She's also reading a book about horses and ponies, about her 50th one, but she hasn't finished them. I'm trying to get her to finish this one.
It was a celebration when my oldest finished the first Nancy Drew, because she has never read a complete book by herself. A little late for that, but so much has been going on. Maybe she'll be like in Disney's Mulan and I can say, like Mulan's father, "The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful flower of all."
May God bless them...
