My son's love of reading started with Magic Tree House too.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613498311261495939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-7696016270812601082009-10-14T13:08:02.529-07:002009-10-14T13:08:02.529-07:00Hey Donna-

He has a June birthday.<br /><br />All kids are different, but what I can tell you is that when it clicks IT CLICKS. That has been true for all of my kids. The first two clicked earlier than I7- at 5 and 6 respectively. I7 was doing lessons just fine, but really picking up a book on his own and reading it just wasn't happening until now.<br /><br />Now I KNOW it has clicked because today during his lesson he just FLEW through the story and words. FLEW. <br /><br />I'm telling you...you will KNOW when it happens. I think your son is just fine.<br /><br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945033763952064373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-40502745711045533072009-10-14T11:12:57.964-07:002009-10-14T11:12:57.964-07:00Congratulations! Just curious..how exactly old is...Congratulations! Just curious..how exactly old is he? Like...just turned 7...7 1/2 or close to 8. This is my first time to teach a child to read...and I find I am nervous...but I think my son is doing well for his age. Just today he read for the first time a whole Dr. Seus book...Green Eggs and Ham (he really read it..he had to sound out words.) I only had to help him read the word "anywhere" He is 6 1/2...so by what age..should he likely be reading on his own things like Magic tree house books??? I am just looking for a gage idea to calm my fears. I am simply assuming him reading what he has is right on par?? Yes? No? I get that kids are different..I just what to feel I am on the right track..or pace.Donna(mom24boyz)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06893314713352399022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-47580177866961924872009-10-14T10:30:52.849-07:002009-10-14T10:30:52.849-07:00Congratulations!
