Reading in Australia

I am so proud of Derek and Rylie. Since being in Australia they have grown so much in their reading. I love literature and I love engaging with the kids with literature. Everyday as part of school I have been reading to the kids outloud for at least an hour. It has been one of my favorite things to do. I have been reading the 39 Clues series to the kids and it has been so much fun!

I am so proud of Rylie. I have watched Rylie go from barely reading a page to reading a whole chapter to reading a whole chapter book!! I am SO blessed to have had the opportunity to teach her!!

Derek has gone from reading the Magic Treehouse series to the Boxcar Children series to the How to Train a Dragon series to Bear Grylls Adventure series to the Bear Grylls Mission Survival Series. He reads for hours at a time to finish a book. He has been such a great influence on Rylie and now the 2 of them read at bedtime and are finishing books left and right! Again, I am SO blessed to be a part of his literature journey.
