Reader

E has been making some great gains lately. For the past several weeks, I've been checking his reading skills while we read books, play, and draw/write. 

He can read words with short vowel sounds, including words with consonant blends. He's been much more into writing and wanting to know how to spell words. It's pretty amazing to see that in you're own child.

G is also very much into reading and writing. He reads the first two pages of Snowy Day word for word. If he doesn't want to read a book with us, he'll take it on his own and read it out loud to us.

G will also draw and have an elaborate description of what it is! Just yesterday he was drawing train tracks, trains, and coal tenders. They looked like scribbles to me!

Both of the boys love to paint and use sidewalk chalk on the driveway. We will fill up the entire driveway in a matter of minutes!
