Dalton finished his first chapter book this past week. He's attempted the Magic Tree House series, the Magic School Bus series, the Flat Stanley's, and so many others I haven't totally kept track, and the thing is that he didn't finish any of them.
Harry Potter had the allure, or the craze that he wanted out of a book I guess. Plus, I told him he couldn't read them till he was older, and then everyone his age started reading them. I found that he had stolen my copy off the shelf, and smuggled it to his top bunk, he was several chapters into it before I caught him, and from there, what could I do?
I am so proud of my little reader, I've even encouraged him to read the second one, so much for holding my ground. Read on Dalton, read on.

I tried the age thing as well, but I couldn't keep Z from reading all 7 of them. I can't believe my 8-year-old reads like he does. He has been reading the Indiana Jones series and has been working on Contact. I wish I had the same passion!
Awesome, I love it when they have the reading bug. I can't wait for Taylor to be able to read by himself although I love reading to them.
