the_rckLast week, Delia had no school. It was a long week from the point of view of her being bored and wanting to be entertained but a short week in other ways. I got used to sleeping in until nine or even nine-thirty.
The sleeping in came because Delia has discovered the joys of reading first thing in the morning. Scott started reading the first Harry Potter book to her, and she started reading ahead in the time before lights out and first thing in the morning. She's finished the book now and has started the second book. Scott's still reading the first book to her a chapter at a time. She seems not to mind going back over stuff she's already read.
I have told her that she can only read the first three books in the series. I don't think she's reading for anything after that yet. She's accepted that limitation so far without complaint. We'll see what she thinks when she's done with book three.
I'm trying to come up with other books that she might like as much as she's liking Harry Potter. I want to encourage her to read. Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank. I have a couple of boxes of kids' books in the basement that I need to go through to see what might work. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of the Bagthorpe books and Edward Eager's works. I know I've got those.
