Reading

We're still reading heaps. Not as much as I'd like, but both boys are getting a longer attention span. Oliver is trying to read along by predicting what comes next or looking at the pictures. Matthew has a good vocabulary and knows the names of his favourite books and can 'read along'. Oliver loves 'There's an elephant on the roof eating cake' and Matthew loves 'The elephant and the bad baby'. I love the 'rumpeta rumpeta rumpeta'. Will try to get him saying it on video and of Oliver 'reading'. Steve read 'the 27th Annual African Hippopotomus Race' to Ollie and I read him 'Fantastic Mr Fox'. He loved both those books, but I haven't been able to find any other chapter books that will hold his attention. He didn't like 'Babe' and I think Paddington and Winnie the Pooh (original) are still a bit beyond him. His favourite part in Fantastic Mr Fox is the bit where Mr Fox's tail gets shot off.
