Oh, you don't stop reading to them when they start reading for themselves. My DD will sit down and read a book, front to cover, without mistakes, and then bring it over to me & ask me to read it to her. I'll be very sad when she doesn't want me to read to her anymore.
I couldn't agree more. DS8 was an early reader and reads several years above level. A few weeks ago, he brought me Misty of Chincoteague and asked me to read it to him because he couldn't understand the dialects used in the conversations of the book. (His description: it didn't make pictures in his mind, so he knew he needed help.)It had been a LONG time since he'd had the patience to read a book 30 minutes a day with me. Usually, when we start a book together, he can't wait to finish it and devours it during the day. I was in heaven to read a book with him cover-to-cover! I need to find more books that are above-level even for him AND of interest to keep this up! We had wonderful discussions about the book. (Sweet book, by the way.)
