Cat in the Hat

Elizabeth brought home The Cat in the Hat as her library book last week (Though I know we have it in the house somewhere.) But she has been so excited discovering she can read it pretty much on her own! Most of the words are her sight words, reinforcing the importance of learning them...yay! And the other words she can figure out if she focuses on the letters and chunks.

It was funny when she first started the book and read that the mother was not home. She was adamant that the children would NOT be home on their own. There must be another explanation. She decided that the mother left a big sister in charge, and the big sister was in the shower. She started reading the book a little bit at a time and took a few days off. So, almost a week after beginning the book, she finished today. Even though she hadn't mentioned it during the week, she brought up the big sister again. HA! I love her reasoning and imagination :-)
