Reading with People, Animals, and Things

Katie still enjoys her books very much. This summer, she has become more interested in "reading" her books herself instead of listening to her books. She's usually happy to listen to someone else read her books in the morning and at night, but during the day, she's usually in charge! With this new independence, she has begun expanding her audience as she reads. Sometimes she'll just sit with whichever person is closest to her and read her books. When she doesn't want to read to a person, Chloe always proves to be a good audience for her. Winnie the Pooh is a great listener. Even Bingle sat still for a few minutes last week to listen to Katie read. The other morning, I caught Katie with her newest audience.

Are you listening, fish?  I'll teach you all about hands!
