Isn't It Exciting!
I get so excited when I see one of my children learning to read! Right now Noah is doing great, and I just get so happy as I watch and listen to him reading from his reader. And when he does his workbook pages and figures it out on his own, I am just thrilled. Yesterday he had to read two sentences and then combine them into one. He did this very easily and I was such a proud mama. I am looking forward to when it clicks with Chloe and she starts to actually read. We are working on blending the sounds together (I think that is where Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons shines). She hasn't really gotten it yet, so I might bring out my book and do the first few lessons with her so she will understand the process. She knows all of the sounds already.
Maybe this is corny, but we read in the bathroom. For me it is some of the rare quiet time I get to read. But my older boys have picked up the habit also. I love to see the books they pick to read. Usually it is some sort of science book. It is so neat to be discussing something and have them already know about it even though we haven't officially covered it yet.
As I made out my annual lesson plans for Noah, I saw exactly how far he should progress in reading this year and I got VERY excited. I personally love to read and I want my children to have the same joy. So, when I see them developing it, I am thrilled.

I always joke about my children's ability to read that it is my greatest accomplishment. It is something that I know I am personally responsible for! They learned that from me! I did that. oops... better watch that pride! But I do feel that having given them the gift of reading is a very important one. I DO pray that, more importantly, I give them the gift of a momy who shows them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, though!
