Mother-Daughter Reading Time

“Date” day of one on one Katie time after finishing her first reading book... it makes anything exciting when ice cream is promised! Hopefully this time we can take off with the reading! She is also the cuddle bug who wants to sit close and cozy... so perhaps this is also a pull for her... taking it slow and waiting for the reading process to not be so tedious. And started intentionally read one on one novels with her and she’s begging for more Ramona. I remember feeling that My oldest was so behind finishing public kindergarten and struggling with basic reading... and when she caught up, it was quick! And she is currently devouring Percy Jackson (again) at the rate of one book a day... I don’t think she was delayed. Just in her schedule. The more I learn about taking reading slowly, the more I am so grateful we aren’t in public school with the struggle. It’s so much more important for them to love reading than the frustration of pushing too early. Summer of reading in the works!
