One of Ryan's favorite things to do this Christmas season is to have us read "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss. I bought the cartoon version of the movie this year also, which has become a favorite of his.
One day I was reading the book to him and he "helped" me read it. He has memorized several parts of the book and then "reads" them when we get the right place in the book.
Another favorite past time of Ryan's is to watch the "Grinch" movie and read the book at the same time. As with me, he will read parts of the book along with the movie.
I thought that he could help us read the Grinch book because he had heard the Grinch movie & book so many times in such a short time, but then a few nights ago Matt was reading "Green Eggs & Ham" to him and Ryan helped Matt "read" that book too! I told my mom about it, and she said that is how my niece started to read was by memorizing stories at a young age and now she is a brilliant reader! Kids these days are so smart!!!!
