Franny loves books, and has been memorizing them since she began talking in sentences.  In this way, she reads not only to herself, but also to Delaney and Cole.  She is very sweet when she reads to them, and asks them questions about the pictures and makes comments about the story. As for actually reading, however, she isn’t quite there, yet.  She recognizes a lot of words, but hasn’t gotten to the point where she will put together the phonics. She is getting close, though.  Recently, she has started to really like the Level 1 reading books that have the vocabulary lists at the end, and likes to have me quiz her on their definitions.  I love how excited she gets when she knows the answer.  I think that Franny is really going to enjoy school!
