As is typical for my boy, he started ambitiously with Green Eggs and Ham. I said "That's a bit too hard." He insisted. He could read the first page or had memorized it.
I looked around for the Bob Books. "They're lost." Special K said. C denied all knowledge of them then suddenly found them. Little T read the first book Mat and started on the second book Sam. He asked me what happened in the pictures. He appears to already identify Mat and Sam. I don't remember Special K doing that. He could already read most of the first book. He's mostly a sight reader like his sister, but he appears to have a better grasp of phonics than she does. Oddly though he starts reading on the right page first instead of the left page.
Then it was time for dinner.

Now you've got me curious to see if Alan (who is in kindergarten and reading a little) can read them.
Ian was a strange reader. He wouldn't let me (or his teachers) teach him to read, he just "taught" himself. If he doesn't know the word, he won't try to sound it out or anything; either he knows it or he doesn't. Even today, he'll read books over his level, and just skip the words he doesn't know, as if they're extraneous anyway.
Ian is truly an independent reader! LOL
