Will has been sounding out words for a couple of years now, but his journey to becoming a reader has been one step at a time. I think that is partly because of Ben's reading skills. Even though we constantly remind them that they are not in competition, well, frankly, they are brothers, and they are in constant competition. So even though Will can read, he has not had the confidence to step out and challenge himself (or allow me) to read harder things.
The other day I suggested he read Green Eggs and Ham to me. He is a huge Dr. Seuss fan, so I thought this would be good practice for reading in front of people more. Thankfully, it was a hit. I was so proud of how he was able to sound out words he didn't recognize and read the whole thing by himself. So proud, that I forgot to video it, which I had wanted to do for months.
Today he came home from school with a book from his reading group, so I asked him if I could video tape it. He was so pleased that I wanted to record it that he even said I could post it here:)
So here is Will, reading Rescuing Nelson. (Grandparents and other family, this one is for you - Enjoy!)
