This week Beanie has just taken off with reading.  She is starting to read everything she can…or thinks she can. She doesn’t quite read everything but I’ll often hear her sounding out words. I am just tickled pink.

It was simply beautiful out earlier this week and we walked the 4 blocks to the public library. I told Beanie on the way there I would only check out early reader books for her. I did not want her to check out the same books Goober was checking out but I would help her find books she could actually read.

We found two Bobbsey Twins books  and I think Beanie says there are at least two more at the library, and we found one Dora the Explorer. She found other books as well but those are her favorites. She says she likes them because the letters are big and there aren’t too many words on a page. I like them because she can’t look at the picture and tell me what the word is. I am so very proud I could just burst!

Tonight we were talking and I was encouraging her with reading. I told her the best way to read better and better is to just read. She wants to read Winnie books, a series of horse books Goober has, I told her we would find a special set of books just for her. She wants the Elsie Dinsmore books, or Millie Keith, or The Bobbsey Twins. She also wants to start getting the set of Trixie Beldon books.  I just might do that soon.
