My Smart Boy...

On Tuesday, we went to Barnes and Noble after having lunch with Dennis. Garrison found this book "Don't Smile at a Monkey!" and read the whole thing to me with VERY LITTLE help! I was so amazed and proud of him! They had done such a good job that I let them both pick out a book. So Garrison decided to pick out Carnival at Candlelight which is Magic Treehouse #33! At first I was hesitant because it was a chapter book and I thought it might be too hard. Well, I had him read the first page of the book and he got ALL the words without any help. So, I told him he could get the book. So, that night we started the book. We started by each taking turns reading a paragraph at a time. Before I knew it, he wanted to read it all. He didn't want to take turns but wanted to read it all. Of course he couldn't read every word like Venice or Camelot, but he got adventure, nevertheless, and even sorcerers! So I looked up the book on our AR list at school and found out it is a 3.9 level book so pretty much 4th grade! WOW!!!! My boy is SMART!

Love you G!
