Cheyanne Is Reading!

Cheyanne read her first whole book today, at 4 years, 3months old! It is called Hot Dog, and it is 23 pages long. It is a beginner Reader book with words like: hot, cool, pool, girl, dog, chilly, etc. She can read it all, sound out all the words, and only needs help about 2 times throughout the whole book! I think she is doing great. She always surprises me, though, because I will work with her on something for a long time, then all at once she gets it! She had read a few pages at a time for a few months now, but this was the first time that she really showed the want to sit down and read the whole thing.
So besides the reading, she carries a tablet around the house and writes all kinds of words down. She asks me what day it is, then goes to the calendar and copies it down. She actually spelled "October" today all by herself....without looking at the word! She just says a word, then sounds it out and starts writing! She surprised me by that for sure. That is a pretty long word for her to spell!
Well, that is what Cheyanne has been up to lately!
