Claire is actually reading books all by herself!
Last year she managed to read a bit but over the summer she worked on it and last night she sat and read a long book out loud. Not just reading it either, she filled it with expression! It was so exciting for all of us!

i can remember when my kids first started to read on their own, it's weird to watch them sit there and suddenly read. mine were so used to me always reading with them, that they still needed me to sit right beside them, all snuggled up, to actually feel comfortable enough to go ahead and read by themselves.
Awesome!!!! Garret loves to read too, this is so exciting for us and them!
What an exciting moment for all of you! Yay Claire!
I love when it just clicks for them. I have two first graders this year and both are learning to read. Cassie can speed right through most words already. It always amazes me.
wow she is doing better then me I still need mom to help me. Alison do you think that claire could help me with my reading!!!
Congratulations! You should be so proud, Mama!
Hooray for Claire!! What a smartie.
Reading will open up a new world of adventure to her. When Courtney was young, she devoured the Mandy series of books. Claire may like those as she gets older. They even put out a Mandy cookbook for girls. There's lots of fun ahead for Claire!
My favorite book when I was little was given to me by my dear Gramilo. It is The Secret Garden. I still love that book, and I've seen every film version of the book.
Oh Congratulations!!!!! That is the most amazing feeling isn't it?! Give her a big hug from Georgia!!!
