Too Big For Words

...or just big enough? Gabe has been doing a great job in Kindergarten so far, and his reading is really taking off! He knew all his letters and sounds already, but taking that step to reading words is such a big deal! He started reading some small words like cat, dog, etc in preschool, and now he is just taking off! His school has a reading program where they send home a new little book each day geared toward their individual reading level. Sometimes it's hard to find books with just the "smaller" words, or we just don't bother to check those out since the story isn't usually very interesting! But this is great because they keep it organized for you. They read 20 books from each level and then move to the next. He is on the second level now, and has memorized all of his high frequency words plus more! We are sooo proud of our smart guy!

Here is a video of him reading his book from yesterday. He read it through once and did such a great job I wanted to record him so I could post for family out of town. So this is just the second time reading through this book.
