Gloria learned to read this year. She was anxious about it for a long time, and it blocked her progress. But then, it became easier and easier, and she was reading. This is the first time that I have seen her reading a so called chapter book by choice. She has read lots of comics, Calvin and Hobbes, picture books. She has been read to for countless hours by her father at bedtime. She has read video game instructions. She grudgingly read the first book in this series though it took her a week, then the second book in a day, still, only because I asked her to. But this is the dawn of the novel for her. A momentous day! What amazing things she has to look forward to. I’m kinda jealous. #magictreehouse #mummiesinthemorning #unschooling
