Then my son is a picture (OK, that wasn't the wittiest of intros, but I digress)
Greyson's school participates in an A/R (Accelerated Reader) program. Every couple of days he brings home an 'A/R' book to read at home then he takes it to school and takes a small comprehension test on it. Along with helping him improve his reading and comprehension this nifty little A/R system also tracks how many words he has read. Word count is a big deal around BGA. For each 10,000 words read the kids get an award in front of the whole school. There is also an elite club called the 100,000 Word Club that get special privileges and recognition throughout the year.
Well, Greyson made his first step to being one of the reading studs by getting to 1,000 words which for a Kindergartener is pretty impressive if I do say so myself! So congrats to my little reader! War and Peace cannot be far off.....
