Reading ColinsMum's post about the Little House in the Big Woods brought back a lot of memories about reading that series to DD9 when she was 4. I honestly thought, at times, that we were NEVER going to make it through the book. The chapters are relatively short but we struggled to get through just one in the 30 minutes before bedtime. Anne of Green Gables was ten times worse. I gave up after five chapters and she finished it herself in grade three.
DS3 does not ask any questions at all when we read to him. It is quite enjoyable, but it makes me wonder how much he is comprehending?
