Wednesday morning I was reading to my little guys. They had been impressed by how many books I owned (based on how many I've read to them) until I told them that most of them came from the library. They they reminded me that I have to give them back!
Once I got on with the reading, this conversation occurred:
Small 5-year-old girl: How do you know what the story is?
Me (slightly perplexed): I can read.
Me (pointing to the words): The story is right here.
Her: Those letters tell the story?
Me: Yes. The letters make words and they tell the story.
She can't read quite yet and was quite surprised to learn that letters can make words that can then make stories! She (and some of the others) were quite impressed that I can read all of the words!
I love 5-year-olds; they're so easily impressed.
