Reading!

This year, Jackson's teacher is doing Book-It. It's kind of nice to have that reminder hanging on the fridge that we need to get in at least 10 minutes a night...which with Jackson that can be especially tricky, considering that he reads very simple books that take less than one minute to read...
Well, tonight I brought some books home from school, just to add variety to what we already have (and by the way have been reading for 3 years!) I was very pleased with how well he did. In fact, tonight after reading some of the "new" books, he wanted to sit and read the No David!books together. He's been "reading" these books for years, but it's always a joy to hear him read them...he has great expression!

There was a time I wasn't sure he'd learn to read...now I'm certain that he's going to get there, but his journey toward literacy has been more like a marathon!!!
