Under Naomi’s tutelage, Ellie’s reading abilities have really grown in the last couple months. She now reads just about anything she finds.. and cereal boxes are suddenly a treasure trove of information! She even surprised me one morning by reading an upside down newspaper headline, which then forced me to explain a crime that it was about. Surprising for both of us perhaps.

We keep telling her that learning to read opens the door for her to learn just about anything, and she is trying! She also enjoys reading (perhaps it is showing off) to her sister…

and her brother while he.. uh. nevermind.
