I picked up Anna from school last Thursday, as I almost always do, and peeked in the door to see what she was doing. On this particular day, she was sitting a chair with a book in her hand facing the class like a teacher would do and was reading to the class. She had a few students listening, the rest were playing with toys. I opened the door and said, "Anna, are you reading a book to the class?" She smiled shyly and shook her head yes. Her teacher said to me " She does that almost everyday." Later that night she felt encouraged enough to come sit on my bed and asked if she could read two books to me. I said of course and she read two books. Now she puts the expression in her face, and her voice just like she is mimicking her teacher and reads the book by reading the pictures and really gets into telling some story about the pictures. We also went through the same ritual Friday night in the play room.
