"That's My Business! Reading!"


From time to time, over the fast several months, Jeremy would tell me what something said.  Usually it was something like a sign we'd seen a million times so I figured he just memorized it.  Today he brought something to me and told me what it said.  So then I asked him to read the apple sauce jar.  He read Tree Top.  So then I pulled out a beginner reader book and....HE READ ME THE BOOK!  I was so excited.  He has known all is letter names and sounds for about a year but we haven't really tried to teach him how to put it all together and read.  After all he was only three when he knew them all and since I was spending so much time with Riley reading I figured I'd hold off with Jeremy.  So I was praising him and I told him that I couldn't believe he could read.  Jeremy was so pleased with himself and feeling oooooh so happy.  Then he says, "That's my business!  Reading!"
