Linking up this week with Shae at Yay For Home

This week for things I know I thought I would concentrate on things I know about children who have just learnt to read like my youngest son has!
It's a special time and here are some things I know about having a new reader :-)

They read anything! Leaflets,books,items of shopping,adverts(especially adverts) just absolutely anything that has words.

They read all the time! in bed,when they should be getting ready for school,on walks,in the car,late at night,early in the morning,basically they read whenever and wherever!

They read things that can be embarrassing for their mums!
A certain young boy here yelled out on the bus recently,"That says poo!"
"No it doesn't!" I said
"It does" he indignantly replied"It says check your poo!"
On closer examination it did indeed say that!
Oops mummy,you were wrong!

They carry books with them everywhere! Upstairs,in the toilet,to the shops,anywhere they visit.

Hearing their voices read is the sweetest thing!I can be so busy but if I hear my son reading,I tend to stop and listen in,I turn the radio off too,how can a radio compare with the cute voice of my littlest boy reading?It cant!

I know its great fun finding books to keep him busy!

It's a pleasure to teach a child to read and what a achievement for them and us when it all comes together and hey presto they are reading!

To have grown a book worm always makes me smile and extremely proud and I definitely know that!
