Cami's first big girl book . . .

Little Miss Cami read her first 200 page book this summer. She started to read Charlotte's Web during the end of Kindergarten (and is reading it now again) but decided to switch over to Little Women early in the summer. She has always enjoyed me reading to her ever since she was a baby and has a love for reading now herself. Her kindergarten teacher would call her a "reading machine." She is heading into first grade with a lot of reading under her belt.

I would encourage every parent to read to their children even while they are very young.

Kyle Reading Program

The girls have been involved in a couple of reading programs this summer. Camille reads on her own, and Carigan gets read to by either me or Camille. They have each read over 100 books this summer. I am very proud of them both!

For the library reading program, every book they read they get to fill out a ticket with their name and phone number. Needless to say, I have filled out my fair share of tickets! After the tickets are filled out, they put them into different boxes that have pictures of prizes on them. At the end of the program, they do a big party and drawing.

The drawing was done Thursday morning, and here they are in the shade waiting to see if they win any prizes.

Camille won a free pass to the Kyle pool!

She also won a case of games...many of her tickets went into this box.

Carigan won a summer pack...she really wanted this prize as well.

This event was fun for the kids! They had food and rides set up, and everyone went home with a prize. I love things like this that continue to encourage children to read!
