Reid Reads!

One day recently Reid was hard at work attempting to sound something out while typing on the keyboard.

Buh. Ack. Ya. Rrrrr. Duh. Guh. Nuh. Sss.

(Translation: Backyardigans ... one of his kid shows.)

Interestingly enough, he was pretty close to the actual spelling. We started quizzing him on sounding out some other words ... Reid is starting to READ! At 4 1/2, he's still in the very early stages, but the fundamentals of reading are certainly there. His teacher recommended a series of books for beginner readers, so we've been tackling those more and more ... as well as our favorite Dr. Seuss book Hop on Pop.

So proud of our little bookworm!
