Tears in my eyes...

Ben discovered last night that he can read most of "My Father's Dragon" on his own... so he has been reading it since he got up this morning... he is lying on his back and reading it aloud to me. I am helping out with some of the more challenging words (ostrich, celebrating).

We were supposed to start phonics 15 minutes ago... but instead I am going to let him keep reading till he gets tired... :-)

I can understand what you mean. He has progressed beautifully and blossomed since you started being his teacher. Again, you should think about going into teaching as you are so good at it. It must make you feel so wonderful to see him engrossed in a good book and enjoying it. What a great way to start the day. I always have a book on my night table and read in bed each night (and weekend mornings).
