Reading - Katherine

Katherine doesn't have a reading list for September.  We've been busy finishing up Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons.  Bless her - she has wanted nothing more than to learn to read since she was three years old.  Finally. She can do it.  She is a little afraid of "real" words and "real" books.  I have heard her sitting in the hall, all alone, reading Little Bear. And she's attempted some of her Fancy Nancy I Can Read books - and done well.  I'm trying to encourage her at every turn. 

Now that we are finished with learning to read, it's time to work on reading comprehension.  We'll use the First Favorites Guide from Veritas Press.  First up, she'll read Curious George by Margaret and H.A. Rey on Monday.  I have scheduled one week for the book and all the comprehension activities (this is the case for each book we'll do from the guide).  We have The Complete Adventures of Curious George and she'll read the story from there. She saw the book in her school crate earlier this week and squealed. 

October 4-8 she'll work on Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina.  October 11 - 15 is Corduroy by Don Freeman.  The following week, October 18 - 22 is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff; followed by Blueberries for Sal (Robert McCloskey) to close the month of October.
