I was reading a magazine to Ava last night, and at one point, she stopped me and pointed to a word on the page. Then she started to sound out each letter. Leah walked into the room while this was going on, and with our encouragement, Ava finally read her word. It was pretty thrilling. We haven’t put much effort into getting Ava to read anything for herself, opting to read to her a lot and just figure she’ll make the leap when she’s ready. So last night felt like a good sign. I love reading to Ava, but I’m eager for the day when she can read to herself.
