T1 has always loved reading although there was a time she went off it for awhile when there were too many activities happening (all those darn extra classes, play dates with friends etc) and she discovered TV! Then I had to encourage her to read beyond her ability but she always said that books with small words were too hard. Too hard? I told her it was the same, the words just smaller but once you could read, you could read anything! Well, almost! I always encouraged her to read Enid Blyton books like Mr Meddle Muddles or Mr Pink Whistle though she would only read 1 chapter at a time. I guess that is all their attention span can take.
Lately though during this school holidays, because we didn’t go anywhere, she was always caught with a book. Every single day. Even when we went out to watch a movie, she had to go to the book shop to do a little reading. She has finally discovered the love of reading the entire book all at one go (after finishing her 1st 200 page book all by herself in 5 days). She can now hold the attention span to read more than a chapter of an entire story book and not read short stories chapter by chapter anymore. She craves reading every day just so she can finish the book to find out what happens next, or what happens at the very end.
I caught her at the book shop reading…….
And when I asked to see what she was reading?
The Mystery of The Secret Room by Enid Blyton. It’s cute how she has to point a finger at the words whilst she reads. At one time, I remember her not being able to read silently at all……
