Thanks. The first time I knew my child could really read and wasn't memorizing was when he took a never read before book out of his Easter basket this past Easter and starting reading Peter Rabbit aloud. I started going to the library and bookstores and getting new books and he would read them to me. He used to read Biscuit and Dr. Seuss early readers, but he likes a little bit more of a story now. Wanted to know his reading level so I don't buy a book he's bored of in a couple of days. I don't read to him much anymore. He reads to me or just picks books off the shelf in the playroom or takes one to his room and reads aloud. I'll hear him talking and go to his room and he has a book open, reading to his animals. He has a couple of poem books, but not Shel Silverstein. Good suggestion. Since he likes pretending to be a Frog, I'll look for Frog and Toad first. He has a really great sense of humor, so I think he'll really like the funny books. :-)
