Reader!!

Wm is reading!!  I am making it official. He has known all his letters and numbers for a long time.  Then, he learned the sounds that all the letters make (though vowels give him trouble and he often mixes them up).  He also kept asking us when he got to learn to read - he wanted to read his books himself.  So I found a website that had all kinds of learn to read games.  Wm was thrilled...unlimited time playing computer games.  He played for hours.  Then yesterday his new Highlights magazine came and I was sitting and reading it to him.  There was a sentence that said, "The snow is melting!" So I pointed to the word "snow" and asked him if he knew what that word was.  He paused for a few seconds then said without missing a beat, "The snow is melting."  He read the whole sentence!!!  So then we did the Smarty Pants Dance and Wm was so proud of himself!  Watch out, kindergarten, here comes Wm!!!
