Reading

One of my current favorite things lately is watching - or just hearing - Abram "read." Hearing what he comes up with to retell the stories he has heard many times is just the cutest darn thing. 

And speaking of reading, I started back up teaching the girls to read a few weeks ago (after a faulty start at the beginning of the summer!). I started with Explode the Code and Zoe whizzed through the entire first book with little to no help from me! Claire struggled with it a lot. So, I am onto my third method in teaching Claire to read: "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons." I think I will be sticking with this one. I think it is best suited to help her with her struggle to learn to read. I may actually use it with Zoe, too, to fill in any gaps she may have from teaching herself to read English. :)
