Hello, World! She Reads...

Her first complete storybook, ever. Out loud all, word for word, all by herself.

The book was carried home from her pre-school in that "shoe bag." This is the first of Primary Phonics storybooks designed for Kindergarten to Grade 1 kids. I am still not so sure about what to do with it. Do I just read out to her? Or she has to read it herself? Between my reluctant thoughts, sienna clicked.

We are so proud of her. So is she herself. She turned around and started "teaching" Daddy line by line. She, being Miss Perfect, is so eager to get every single word right. I just wanted to make this a fun thing to do. We gave her a lot of cheering. I could have brought in balloons and kazoos to celebrate. She is definitely effected by the party mood. Now she wants to know every word in the world.

Here is the full content of the book and the book cover image.
