WishboneDawn Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yes, he's 10 and yes, it's just a Dr. Seuss book but we've been struggling with his reading for so long and last year at this time he would have had a hard time with some of the BOB books. He was reading George's Marvelous Medicine last night but that was after some arm twisting. Right now he's reading a book he choose for his own enjoyment and he's doing it with expression and ease. It's so wonderful to hear.:001_smile: Thank you, thank you, thank you Dancing Bears! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishboneDawn Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks you guys. I just tucked him in and he was so happy and proud that he was almost in tears. I think it snuck up on him. I told him it was quiet reading time and he wouldn't touch George's Marvelous Medicine (although he loves that book-when I read it to him) and went to get a book to look at, "just for the pictures." Then he sat down on the couch and before I knew it he was reading out loud and just never stopped. I suspect that he'll take off now and be at grade level in fairly short order.

bookfiend Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 One of the smartest boys I know didn't read until he was ten. It just wasn't his time until then. Up to speed w/in six months (or less). :D for your boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WishboneDawn Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks all! We're making a quick run up to the local used bookstore later so that he can pick out a book to celebrate. He's actually looking forward to the bookstore rather then dreading it as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
