Tyler finished Harry Potter!


A few months ago, Tyler decided he wanted to read Harry Potter. It really is far above his reading level, but he wanted to read it anyway. He's watched all the movies a few times with Amber and so he is familiar with the story. He would read the words he knew and just skip the other words. Since he already knew the characters names and the names of the spells . . . he could read those. He finished it last night! He did a little move and chanted, "I'm on the last page, I'm on the last page!" Then he finished reading and looked up and said, "Where's Harry Potter II?" I convinced him to read a Horrible Harry book instead. I want him to read books at his own level. He sure was proud to have finished such a large book. What an accomplishment for a six year old!
