Susie, age 4 and a half, reading the first few pages of a chapter book. She is sight-reading, never having seen the book before. "Lexi's Tale" is on a 4.2 (fourth grade) reading level. This was recorded Feb. 28 to chronicle her progress since learning to read a year ago. Ordinarily I would work with her on the occasional words she stumbles on, but I didn't want to interfere during the video. :)
I am Johanna Hurwitz' daughter and was happy to find this video last week. I emailed it to my Mom and she was also charmed by it. Thanks for sharing this!

Wow! Thanks for the comment. Please tell your mother we love her books, especially "PeeWee's Tale" and "Lexi's Tale." Do you know if she has written (or plans to write) any more "Park Pals Adventures"? We also love the Russell series. You are blessed to have been raised by a wonderful children's author! :)
