DD7's reading ability has really taken off.  She has read the following books "all by her own"

*The Tree House Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner

*The One-Eyed Giant (Book 1 of Tales from the Odyssey) by Mary Pope Osborne

*Little  House in the Big Woods (she is currently reading this one)

I am amazed at how her reading just clicked! 

DD9 could not bring herself to finish Mary Poppins so she laid it aside.  She has been reading non-stop!

She has read the following:

Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace (another book I read to her when she was smaller, she LOVED it)

Bety-Tacy and Tib

The Mouse of Amherst

Victoria: May Blossom of Brittania (The Royal Diaries Series) by Anna Kirwan (in progress)
