The Brain

Boylee is really getting into reading. At the beginning of the school year, his teacher told us parents that the kids would recognize 80 sights words by the end of the year. (Her explanation of sight words is easy words that the kids immediately recognize, without needing to sound them out or even think about it -- just instant recognition.) Now I think that number is too low, because reading seems to be exploding through his brain.

He recently received a letter from Papa and a postcard from Nana, and he read them both himself. So if you care to send him a little note -- written very neatly, please, and with simple words -- he will no doubt enjoy receiving it.
