I have been reading to my son every night before bed since he was 1 years old. He was always interested in books. When he started daycare they told us that he would often just sit with a book and pretend to read it. I as he got a handle on the alphabet I started to make sure I was reading basic books that had a lot of sight words hoping that he would pick some of them up. When he was 4 I would pick books that had repetitive words and would have him read that work out loud when them came up.

Since he turned 5 he has been reading fairly well. I would often read a book and have him attempt the easier sentences. Recently he has really improved and can read many of the beginner books on his own. My original plan with the "Reading with Luke" series was capture him and I reading some of his favourite books together. This way he could look back at it when he is older or when he has kids of his own, or heaven forbid something happens to me it would be something great that he could remember me by .

When I attempted our first book "Just me and my Dad by Mercer Mayer" he read the entire thing on his own expect for a couple of words. So it is more of "Luke Reading" than "Reading with Luke".

Either way, I hope you enjoy:

I love your post, thanks for sharing! I gave you a vote. I hope you enjoy it.

Thought I'd pop in and say Hi! I love that you've been reading to him since he was a baby. I'm sure you've heard the saying... not all readers are leaders but ALL leaders are readers. A topic very dear to my heart. Thumbs up!

Thanks.
It started as a routine to help settle him down for bed. Then it became great parent son time for me and my wife. Reading opens doors to learning many great things. Currently he is mostly learning about dinosaurs and pokemon...
