Second Grade Readings

It has been a LOOooong time since I have consistently sat down with LD to listen to him read.  Instead, he has been doing independent reading primarily on his own.  This week I was pretty impressed with his intonation, rhythm and general reading ability.  Grams gave us a children’s encyclopedia set and among other things he read some articles to me on birds and fossils.  He’s also reading through a Magic Tree House book. 

I’m really very impressed with the encyclopedia set.  I doubt anyone would run out and buy them (as they are copyrighted 1960), but I think we’re going to get a lot of wonderful use from them. They’re short enough to read through quickly, have reasonably good illustrations, are concise and are really quite packed with information.
