OK, proud mummy moment. Miss 4 looked at some early chapter books a few months back but they quickly went back in the cupboard because she was overwhelmed by the number of words on each page. She was put off because she didn't recognise some words and thought it was just too tricky. She had no desire to try *sigh* Today we were given some of the Aussie Nibbles books - early chapter books. And blow me done if she didn't sit down and read the whole first chapter!!! It has 8 chapters, and she figures she can finish it within the week. I just love the fact that she wanted to try!!! And she only needed minimal help!!! Their website says that the series is intended for early readers aged 4-9. Yee har...

OK back to the couch to wait for Obama (almost midnight down under...) jojo
