A Couch Full of Books

Karlie has all her library books spread out over the couch so she can choose which one to read first.  Not sure if the line of books are placed in random or specific order.  She is very thoroughly in picking out what book she wanted to read.

She has been reading through the South Carolina Children’s Book Award Nominee list.  For her Gifted & Talent class she is suppose to read at least four of the SC Children’s Book Award and pass an Accelerated Reading on them.  We pick up several of the books from our local library and she has been working her way through them.  A couple of the books Jake and I decided we didn’t want her to read for various reasons, but otherwise we want to encourage her to read as much as she wants.

Karlie loves reading!  She was finished reading her four required books within a week.  Now she is continuing to read just for fun and taking the tests.  It is wonderful seeing her read and it amazes how quickly she can get through a book, sometimes one that is several hundred pages!  If she really likes the book finish it and read it again the next day!  Her stack of library books has been higher than mine lately!
