Reading Already

Avid reading is a characteristic the twins inherited from their mother. As a girl, Sandy devoured books finishing 8 to 10 titles per week during her summers. She loved mysteries and prized the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Children’s Alfred Hitchcock series. She often preferred reading to other activities. While the boys can not yet read the word, they already love books. Thanks to Grandma Roe, Aunt Susan and a number of garage sales, we have amassed a large number of children’s books. The boys loved to be read to and have memorized some of their favorite books’ narratives word for word. They ask for books to read in their cribs at naptime and find flipping through the pages comforting. If their passion for books continues, they should have no problem with school.
