Reading has been a blast in my house. Ballet girl would not voluntarily sit and read for pleasure, but when asked to sit and read, she does. Her reading level is somewhere between 1st and 2nd grade, closer to the upper end. Ballet girl is reading through all the Fly Guy books; afterwards she will read through a couple of Inch and Roly easier books, a couple of Step into Reading level 3 books and then she will start reading the Mercy Watson books. She is quite familiar with the Mercy Watson stories because we've read them a few times already, so reading them, assisted, on her own, will not be a stretch. After that, she will be allowed to pick her own books from the library to read. Once school starts, the expectation is to spend a minimum of 10 minutes reading aloud, narrating what has been read and filling one page with copywork.
