Raising a Reader

293!  That is 293 minutes of reading, at home during the evenings and weekends, from September 5th to September 30th.  The goal set by Summer's teacher was 150 minutes. I am really impressed at how quickly she is picking up new words.  It is always a challenge to get her to want to read.  Playing on the computer is SO much more fun, I am told.  But I think she is starting to really feel successful.

Yesterday my uncle John stopped in for an overnight visit.  He is on his way home to Nelson, BC from Haliburton where he spent two months installing an amazing sculpture in the Haliburton Sculpture Forest next to Fleming College.  It was a short visit but Summer was just as excited to see him, even though it has been a year since she saw him last.  Below she demonstrates her reading expertise.
