Celebration!!!!!

Finally, finally, my tree climbing, artistic, daughter has for the first time in he life - got hooked enough by a book to want to sit down in the daytime and read. Boy has it been a long road.. many tears, much frustration, much self doubt and second guessing ...  We tried several phonics programs, reading approaches, Ambleside's selections and finally at the start of 07 gave up and opted only for a 1/2 hour read or sleep time in the evening with carefully chosen mutual selections. This book worm mum thought it would never come - but we are hooked at least on one book. The book "Anna of Byzantium."
