Mommy Moment for a minute: Only read if you want to hear a mom brag about her little boy.
Spencer loves books, he always has as a 14 month old he would bring me books to read. Spencer and I have worked on a reading program since January. He was so excited about it frequently would ask me to work on the program with him. He turned 4 years old May 26 and he is now officially reading.
His attention span goes up and down from reading a few short pages of "Little Critter" and some Dr. Seuss books to helping us read a verse or two from the Book of Mormon during our morning scripture reading.
"Are you my mother is a book he recently read to me, the entire thing, on the train one morning.
I was hesitant to start part 3 of this reading program which includes the hard words like though, rough, eight. Words that you can't sound out and yet we started it a bit, again he picked them up much faster than I anticipated. Once he reads a word once or twice in a book he seems to have it memorized and can read in other books as well.

Spencer is definitely a genius! I still remember when he turned two and had already been talking up a storm. That kid really does have a gift for language and expression :). Does he still do the very expressive faces???
And I would love to know what reading program this is. Would you please email me some details? Also, did I see somewhere that you are coming to Utah? I am here now. If you are here, and have time, would you like to meet up?
That's amazing! Lance has been reading since 4 as well, but I'm not sure he could read those hard books or verses from the BOM. That is very impressive Spencer! You must have gotten it from your namesake - you know, the one who hasn't read a book um ever! j/k! So so cool! And Na I got your email - maybe you guys meeting us in Australia could be a real possiblity! hmmm let's plan something fun for reals - next february or march! Love you guys talk to you soon!
