Mini-Reader in the House

Even though Clara already had completed two of her reading lessons yesterday from our awesome, Joey-tested learn-to-read book, she was game for two more last night... with Joey as her teacher.

There's not much cuter in this world than watching your 6 year-old ever so patiently lead his little sister through her "homework." Just wish this video wasn't sideways!


Clara is gobbling up words left and right, and is a total joy to sit down with for reading lessons! She loves sizing up a word, digesting it in her head quickly, and then shouting out the "answer." Even with less than ideal working conditions (read: Molly crawling on top of her book), she powers through and focuses completely on her task at hand. I can't wait until she gets even more nimble with her decoding and can start reading her own small chapter books like Joey!



This definitely beats putting her in time out!
