Becca is sitting next to me on the couch, reading Ramona the Pest. On her own.
Sylvia read two Level 1 Barbie books this morning, almost completely on her own. She kept bringing the book over to me and asking, "What's this word?" and I'd tell her, and she'd wander back to the chair, reading the sentence aloud again. I was flabbergasted, especially since this is the same Barbie book we bought Becca last year and were pleasantly surprised when she read the whole thing (3 Level 1 books and 3 Level 2 books) on her own, only needing help with proper names. And a mere year later, Sylvia can read some stories from it!
Sylvia also has been enjoying sitting in on our math lessons. We're stepping back and using Right Start level A, a K level curriculum. I want Becca to loosen up and have fun with math so she can truly master the basics. Anyway, it's all very simple and fun right now, and Sylvia likes to sit and listen and participate. She can sing all of "Yellow is the Sun," Right Start's song for remembering numbers from 6-10.
I'm pretty proud of both of my girls!

That's awesome! I know how excited I was when my son read OFF the other day, I can only imagine when he starts reading books!
Good Job, Mom!
