J is Reading!

Never one for academics, 48 hours ago J discovered that he not only knows letters, but that with lots of encouragement he can read one syllable words. VERY EXCITING. He is five so this is nothing earth shattering, but given that M knew the letters at two and could read better than me at five, we did not know what to expect with Mr. J. He looks forward to reading and asks me to write words for him to sound out. Yahoo!
