This is wearing me out

A direct quote from DD after reading halfway through a Step into Reading primer. Excellent. I'm not sure if reading is wearing her out or if Mama and Daddy are wearing her out. It could also be a combination... At any rate, she is really reading well. We've resumed our reading lessons in the EARLY morning, which makes a huge difference in attitude and ability (hers and mine). It's as if some internal switch has been flipped and she understands how to apply what she's learned. She reads less haltingly and doesn't need to sound out her words as often. When she comes across an unfamiliar word, even a sight word, she just sounds it out and uses the context to figure it out. Our second Bob books are on the way!!! Yippee!!!
