Since school started, Blythe has been reading like crazy. We've been encouraging her to read on her own, as well as aloud to us. Kent and I are still reading to her each night, too, so lots of reading is happening. But Blythe's own reading has really taken off. I catch her all over with her nose buried in a book, and the frequency with which she asks us to read to her as increased as well. Today she finished not one, but two books, all on her own! At the beginning of the year, she set a goal to get 25 AR (accelerated reader) points for the term, and a couple of weeks ago, Mrs. Miller upped her goal to 30. As of today, halfway through the term, she has 32.9 points. We love a reader!
Here are just two pictures of her reading, one at the Dudes flag football game, and one in the living room.
