Due to a few months of bedrest with girl#1 I read a ton at the end of my pregnancy. In the beginning it was Court T.V. but then I turned to more enlightening things. At night after playing a few rounds of UNO The Frog Prince would read childrens books to my belly. He would start reading and we could see her move towards his voice. Coolest thing EVER.
When she was born we continued to read to her. When she could crawl she would pick a book then crawl to us to read it.
Nap time was a breeze she would pick a few books settle under the covers and I wouldn't hear a peep.
This love has continued to this day. She picked up reading so easily she has consistantly been 1 grade level ahead in school.
Her class had a goal of 2 Ar points a month that they set at the biginning of the year. The total to Feb would have been 12. At a recent award ceremony for her class her teacher handed out a few awards for a few that topped the class. I was in shock when she announced Girl# 1 had 72 Ar points to date. 72 holy mackeral that is way above 12. If I could do math I would give a percentage but will just leave it at that is a whole lot more then 12.
The other amazing part is she never brings home library books. In Kindergarten she lost a library book and she has never wanted to bring one home again. So she is reading these all at library time then taking her test.
I am so glad she has this love and ease for reading I think it opens so much learning.
Good job #1 we love you!!!
(She also has been able to whip our behinds at Uno since the age of 5)
