Since discovering the world of reading, our six year old cannot get her hands on books fast enough!
When I pick out books for her, I try to find books that span across reading levels. I want her to read books that are super easy, books that are at her reading level, and a few that are just a bit harder. I loved giving her books which did not come from the I Can Read series because she read without the preconceived idea that this was an "easy book or a hard book."
The majority of the books we picked up this month fall into the first two categories. They are easy and at her level. I want her to love reading.
And it's the summer.
The summer is for fun.
She will read harder books during the school year.
Some of the books were super easy because they were meant for Addie to read to our two and a half year old. He loves having Addie read to him.
Here is a list of all the books she read to herself this month. It is not an exaggeration. I had to explain to our librarian (when I saw her skepticism) why we were constantly taking out large quantities of books and bringing them back a few days later.
Her momentum has actually slowed a little, especially towards the end of the month. And that is fine! She has wanted me to read to her a bit from books that are a little harder right now. We are finishing up Pedro's Journal: A Voyage with Christopher Columbus, August 3, 1492-February 14, 1493
and she is working her way through Pocahontas Indian Princess Weekly Reader Books Edition
.My approach to summer reading is to encourage it with books she enjoys at reading levels that appeal to her so the skill does not get lost and even has a chance to improve itself in speed and comprehension. Once school starts again, her reading will be more directed by what we are learning.
But for now.... reading is all about fun!
