FOLLOW THE PROGRESSION OF DANE READING Hop On Pop!
November 8 - Before Karen flew out of town, we stopped
at an Oakland Starbucks for an hour. There, she encouraged
and guided Dane in reading Dr. Seuss's Hop On Pop to her.
(She'd had the forethought to stash a book in the van in
case we had extra time to kill before her check-in time.)
For the next 45 minutes then, the rest of us were quiet as
Dane read the entire 64 pages out loud--sounding out
everything (sometimes many times) in those
increasingly complex sentences and full paragraphs.
It was really exciting for all of us--and it was fun to watch
Dane work hard, rewarding himself alternately with a
bite of cookie and a sip of hot chocolate.

This was such a fun afternoon! To see Dane working it all out and to see all those letters and sounds he's been learning start to click and make sense in sentences and questions was very exciting. He worked SO hard that he was exhausted when finished, but I think he was pretty proud of his great accomplishment, as were we! A stellar finish to a really great visit:)
