appts, always looking for a certain George book, (George Goes to the Hospital) for the waiting room. For me, I remember as a kid going to my ped. Today at the ripe old age of 3 he travels everywhere with his stuffed George doll, and morning cuddle time he is a mainstay. My son from birth has always been surrounded with Curious George. He wants to read now, which isn't even something I could have said a few weeks ago. When he finished, he hugged me and said "I'm catching up now, mommy!" in the most excited voice. Eighty pages! He read me 80 pages at once and barely stumbled! Curious George Flies a Kite is really three stories in one, and is a lot longer than most of the beginning reader Curious George books. Today we sat down with this on the couch together and he read me the entire thing. This is the first time he's asked me for that, so I got a little weepy. We've been playing a lot of phonics games lately, trying to build his confidence and get him more comfortable with reading instead of feeling frustrated because it's not clicking and yesterday he asked me if we could get some books just for him from the library. He's great at math and science, he remembers things that blow my mind and he's got this amazing hand/eye coordination that causes me much envy.he's just not the best reader. My middle son is currently seven and he struggles with reading.
