Riley has been practicing reading skills quite a bit lately… I have him learning “site” words… words that you essentially memorize and he has gotten very good at sounding things out.  I’ve been trying to read some of the books we have that are simple books lately so he can practice.  Well, Saturday night we read, “10 Apple Up On Top” and when I say “we” I should say Riley read it with a slight amount of help from me (very minor).  This is an easy read, but not a short book… about 60 pages (with 1 or 2 sentences on each page).

The best part, as usual, was his reaction… he was so proud of himself… SO PROUD of himself… you could just see him getting excited, hear the excitement in his voice… after each page he would stop, look at me with a big smile and give me this great big hug… it was a lot of fun… G0 Riley!!!
