For a good few weeks now, Beri has been putting together the letters he sees on book covers, cereal packets, lorries, and far more often than not coming up with what they spell. So (at great personal cost - I wanted to do this!) I suggested Jeremy and Beri spend some time in our library with some of the Oxford Reading Tree books we borrowed from Anna over four years ago, when Kit was this age.We thought maybe one book (they really are quite short) every few days, to get him interested without putting too much pressure on him.
Well. We only have six book in Stage 2, and Beri zipped through them all in that first session. Do we buy more at Stage 2, or do we go on to Stage 3? Decisions, decisions . . .
We are so proud of him we could burst.
Oh - and when Jeremy, dropping Beri off at nursery the next day, mentioned this to his teacher Mrs Brown, and asked her to ensure he had access to suitable literature at school, she looked slightly surprised, and remarked 'Beri does hide his light under a bushel, doesn't he!'

Brilliant! Lovely photo too.
How is it that Mrs Brown has a perfect phrase for every occasion despite being constantly talked to by 30 odd four year olds?

Teresa! (What should your name link to?) The library is wonderfully warm and cosy. When will you come and see it?
