Grace read her own reading assignment from Baldwin's 50 Famous Stories today. This was a huge step from the simple cartoon 1st readers we have been utilizing. Last week, I gave Grace a poem or two to read from A.A. Milne's "When We Were Six". She loves to listen to 50 Famous, but the thought of reading it herself was a little intimidating.
The reading for today was a perfect length and looked like a good match for her level - the telling of George Washington and the chopping of the cherry tree. It was interesting to note that when I asked her for a narration, it came much more swiftly for her, since she had read it herself.
We've come so far in such a short time. It really is amazing to me how quickly she has been able to apply her reading skills.
