Jess picks up 'Fox in Socks', slowly she begins to sound out the words. Her confidence grows and she begins to read faster and with expression. It's like watching her learn to ride her bike. Inwardly my heart is in my mouth, I'm holding my breath. Outwardly I'm smiling encouragement. She wobbles once or twice, then suddenly she's soaring, flying high, reading and grinning. We're all grinning then laughing - welcome to the wonderful world of words Jess!
and such a magical moment it is! love.
