Moment of cuteness

January 30th, 2008 · by map · 2 Comments

I took a bunch of pictures around the house the evening, including when it was Ava’s story time.

story

This kid sure does love her stories. Sometimes she likes to take the book when we’re done and read it herself, but she only reads back what she memorized us reading on each page. It’s a neat parlor trick. And speaking of tricks, Leah wanted me to mention that Ava recognizes all her letters and reads them every time she sees them. On posters. On clothing. In books. Everywhere. I don’t have any idea whether Ava is advanced or not, but I’m eagerly awaiting the day she sees an unfamiliar word and spontaneously reads it.

    Keep reading! Every single day.

    It will give Ava a great start when she goes to school. Both of my boys are very advanced in their reading and every year the teachers ask if we read to them a lot. When we replied yes, they said that is a good part of the reason why they love to read and why they are good readers.

    Even now. In 4th and 2nd grade, we read each night together and then they each read 60 minutes a night silently.

    It’s a great habit.
