The excitement around here is palpable. Hoo was really unsure he could finish more than ten minutes worth of continuous reading, much less a book that clocked in at 374 pages. But, he did.
This is the same child who was diagnosed as "pre-dyslexic", who had a hard time differentiating sounds within words, and who still has some trouble with spelling in context.
But, by golly, he discovered this week that, just like his Daddy, he reads better if he reads aloud. So, our house has been filled with the sound of pages being blown through and information being ingested.
And the reward, besides a great deal of pride? To watch the movie modeled after the book. I can hardly wait to hear the comparisons Hoo makes.
Congrats, Hoo! Your entire family is so very proud and happy for you.
