We have a reader. A READER! And he takes after his mama. :)
I took Nate and Nile to the library on Saturday to pick up some books, and convinced Nate to look at some chapter books. I found a superhero series that I thought he would love:
This book is 138 pages, and 18 chapters. Nate read the whole book in less than an hour and a half. He read for 20 minutes last night before bed, then woke up this morning at 6:30 am and read the rest, before coming into our room at 7:15 to tell us he was finished.
I'll be honest, we didn't think he had read it all. So I quizzed him on parts of the story.
Yeah, he read it all.
Now we're on a quest to find Book 2, which the Geneseo library doesn't have (I've requested it through inter-library loan). For the life of me I will never understand why they have books 1, 3, 4, and 5 of a series and don't have number 2.
Nate also got two DC Comics chapter books that he read in an hour on Saturday. I wasn't sure if he had actually read them either, but now I'm convinced. He's just a speed reader like his mother. I thought we'd at least have enough books for a week with those three. Guess we need to go back to the library!
If my biggest problem is keeping him occupied with enough books, I will gladly drive him to every library to find books for him to read.
I am so excited right now.
