Learning to read

April 22, 2008

Over the year Hokulani has improved so much in her reading abilities. She also gets a turn while we read the Book of Mormon as a family. She amazes us when she reads words like "Lamanites", and "groweth". Hokulani also makes us laugh when she doesn't read carefully or tries to guess the word instead of sounding it out. She often reads "God" as "good".

For her homework (once a week), Hokulani used to have to do a book report that required writing the title, author, and illustrator, and drawing a picture of her favorite part of the story. Soon she excelled past that level, and moved on to doing book reports requiring the title, author, illustator, main characters, and writing about her favorite part of the story. We're so proud of her!
Hokulani also loves borrowing books from the library. She is allowed to borrow as many books as she wants, but I have limited her to as many as she can carry in the box we take to the library. Hokulani likes it when we read to her, but she is also eager to read on her own.
