Our next reader

There are lots of things I enjoy about homeschooling, but I have discovered that one of my favorites is teaching my children how to read!  Like I assume most people do, we start with letters and sounds and easy Bob books and progress to more and challenging words, books, etc.  I love seeing "the light bulb" go on as they put sounds together into words and then words into sentences.  I love the excitement they have when they've just read a "real" book.  Lately Myles has really taken off in his reading and I'm so proud of this little dude!  I think he gets better everyday at reading more fluently and sounding out hard words.  It's so fun for me to see all his hard work pay off.  Now I even find him in bed in the dark(when he's supposed to be going to sleep) with his flashlight on, sneaking a peek at the next chapter!  Here he is working on an Imagination Station book...Myles will be a first grader next year and we're excited to explore even more new books!
