An Ahhhhh Moment

The other morning Sarina came into the kitchen clutching a book to her chest and yelling book, book. She then took Ben by the hand, led him down to the family room and asked him to read to her. Ahhhhh, it was a moment to make Mommy so happy. They sat on the floor and Ben read books. Then he bragged that he could read the books without out even looking at the words. So much for my hope that he would find some reading practice time with his sister. He is determined to learn to read without having to look at the words. Yes, Ben must do things his own way. You might have guessed that we are working on our reading. He was very happy to get a reward for reading more than one hundred minutes last month. We still love our reading time. I just wish he would look at the words a little more than the pictures. We are playing a new Ispay game where we spy letters and numbers. I enjoy this much more than the usual Ispy with Ben. Before he just made things up that he saw otherwise it was too easy for me to guess.
