Every summer we like for the boys to read, and review some of their other subjects. Jared enjoys reading almost as much as he enjoys video games.;) Mathematics, he does not enjoy as much, and his focus of his summer studies. Caden is just the opposite, he loves Math and doesn't enjoy reading. So reading and learning cursive writing is his summer study. We started last Monday, I asked Caden to pick any book he would like to read. He chose, DIARY of a Wimpy Kid "DOG DAYS" a book he got for Christmas from his Nana & Papaw. I remember him saying then, he wouldn't enjoy reading it because its so long, so I was surprised this was the book that he chose. As he was reading I could tell he was enjoying the story, just by the way he formed his words, not to mention the little giggles here and there. ;) This is his first book he has truly enjoyed reading. He made a book mark to mark his page, and is excited when I tell him it's time to read. Wow. We are so excited for him! He has always thought reading was just not any fun and would only read when me or his Dad make him. He doesn't have to love to read, but we have hoped and prayed reading would be something he learns to enjoy one day.

Isaac loves the wimpy kid books!! Its the only thing he will read these days!! I don't care for them much but as long as he is reading right?
