Learning to read

After a year of homeschooling, my little girl has finally learned to read. I think neither of us really know when or how it happened. It just did. After weeks and weeks of sounding letters, reading books aloud, reading words on signboards and writing little notes, I suddenly found that she could read enough words to make sense of simple sentences.

Yesterday, she decided she wanted to read and read. She finished these books in one sitting -

Oops! I Made A Mistake
by Susan Hood and Dana Regan

A House For Mouse
by Babs Shook

Our New Baby
by Sue Kueffner and Dorothy Stott

She was so proud. And so was I!

Perhaps one day, she will read Oliver Twist.
