nmoira Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 DD the Elder is 8 and most recently read Verdigris Deep (inexplicably released as Well Witched in the US... what a horrible title). It's kinda creepy, but she usually isn't bothered too much that way with books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jessica* Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nik is 6 and spends hours every day reading Calvin and Hobbes comic collections. I don't know what the last book he read on his own was. :blushing:(I think it was a Magic Treehouse book.) By the time he's over his Calvin & Hobbes obsession I think he'll have all five of the comic collection books memorized! :lol: However, we read a lot to him. I think that counts at this young age, right? :D Our last read-aloud was The Tale of Despereax. We just started Little House in the Big Woods. Plus all of the living books we read as part of our "schoolwork." Daddy reads to them every night, as well; they recently finished the Peter and the Starcatchers series. Now they are on to the first few books in the Harry Potter series. They love to listen to adventures before bed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 DD9 just started "The Name of this Book is Secret" but she's also mid-way through "Princess Academy". I also recently got 2 new book sets that were rec on threads here ... Young Folks Shelf of Books and My Book House, so she also has a couple of these in her room and is picking out stories here and there to read from them. DS5 is not reading yet, so we do tons of read alouds from library picture books. He has 2 huge Star Wars books he's loving right now. For "school" we are touring through some ancients this summer, just for fun, so I have been reading Roman Diary, Greek Diary, and Egyptian Diary aloud.

Something for school. 14 y.o. has autism and rarely reads for pleasure. She read The Fellowship of the Ring for her freshman English class. 9 y.o. is sitting on the couch reading a Hardy Boys book he checked out from the library. Or do you mean the last book he finished? Frindle. 7 y.o. is almost finished with his free summer reading book, a Magic Treehouse guide...Mummies and Pyramids, I think it's called. 5 y.o. read Yertle the Turtle last night.

Storm Bay Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 15 Woods Runner (she likes to read younger books for fun, but she's also reading The Iliad for school & reads y/a novels. I only put this book down because you asked for the LAST book she'd read, and she found this when she had nothing else fun to read yesterday. She also sometimes sneaks books off my shelf such as Eats Shoots & Leaves.) 12 Football Hero (but she also reads some very literary books--she loves lit, and reads books like the one I named at the library as a "fluff" book.) 10 is reading Hatchet and the second book in the Ordinary Boy trilogy. He mainly reads nonfiction books about science & airplanes, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
