31 MayI love this!
she’s a big girl of 5 now
and wants
so desperately
to read chapter books
all by herself
with lots and lots of pages
no pictures
no help
flipping through the pages
looking for familiar letters
seeking any word she’s seen before
putting her bookmark in
taking it out again
opening it
closing it
showing us how thick it is
doing all the things that readers do
so self-assured
‘i can read them all.’
and then
her moment oftruth and grace arrives
as she says
‘isn’t it funny, there isn’t one interesting word in here?’

there are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world.
love of books is the best of all.
