Here is Gavin glued to his book. We went to the book fair yesterday and there were a few Lego ninjago chapter books. This is the first time I can recall him reading happily like that. Although he reads extremely well for his age, when I call him to read with me it's followed by eye rolling and grumbling. He does like to read through easier books and even skim read some too. Yesterday is the first time he sat down with a book near to his level and devoured it. He read 3 of them yesterday. As his teacher, I am doing the happy dance!
I thought back to a similar experience a few years ago with Sennika. We owned many children books and, as I have mentioned before, we read to our kids every day. Around age 7 she was shifting to being hungry for more difficult reads. Her first bookworm experience came with a darling series called "Besty Taci." From then on, she has read just about every chapter book we have put in front of her. She also loves going to the library to search for new reads too.
This is such a fun milestone to watch. We hope each of our children will continue in developing an appetite for good books.
