Shellie. I am in awe of her---her brother is too. Chris bought a book the other night that quite frankly, I thought was below his reading level---he's in 10th grade but reads higher. Shellie is in kindergarten, and is now reading it. She has read quite a bit out loud to Chris and me, and even more by herself, missing or needing help with a very few words. She is 6. She just started reading early last fall and I would say this is about a 4th or 5th grade level book, about 150 or so pages.
Chris has now cleaned out the remainder of the books in his collection--barring a couple I deemed to have subject matter a little above her head--that she could read. She is discovering that the higher the reading level, the less pictures, but seems to do fine with that. Maybe it is time to haul back out the Little House books again--heck she should be able to read it herself!!!!!
Go Shellie!!!!!!
