The title should be a warning, if you are not a doting grandparent, aunt, or uncle - you may want to skip this posting.
I just have to glow a bit about my little reader, Elise. At 4 years old, she continues to amaze and startle us with her ability. During this last vacation to Portland, Grammi and Aunt Lori each brought her 20+ books from the library. We guessed that she should be in books aimed at 1rst graders. As each load of books came in, she sat down and spent a couple of hours reading through them all. Having conquered those, she started pulling full length chapter books off of the book shelves to read. Instead of short books, she prefers to read the Little House on the Prairie series, Too Much Salt and Pepper, the American Girl books, or whatever book I'm reading.
I do have to wonder just what she will be reading when she starts 1rst grade in 2.5 years.
P.S. I asked Elise to read this blog out loud to me and the only words she didn't know were doting, ability, conquered, length, and 1rst.
