Reading Is Fun!

So H is reading up a storm lately. She reads all the signs as we drive along (she now knows what Dairy Queen is). Yesterday she happened to be looking at a map of the Greater Metro Area. These are a few snippets from our conversation.

H: Mom, they forgot the L in Temple.

Me: Huh?

H: The L, mom. They forgot it. They spelled it T-E-M-P-E.

H: Mom, I found Scott-doll (I'm spelling phonetically so you get the full effect).

Me: Actually, it is Scottsdale. The A is a long A because of the E at the end.

H: Mom, I found ebelin hooey.

Me: You found what?

H: Ebelin hooey.

Me: Spell it.

H: E-B-E-E-L-I-N-E-H-W-Y.

Me: The E at the front is an abbreviation for East. Then you have the word Beeline. Then, Hwy is an abbreviation for Highway. So, it is East Beeline Highway.

I love that she is picking up reading so fast. She is so eager to learn. She recently had to stay home from school for almost a whole week and was so glad to go back on Monday because she loves to learn. What are we going to do over the summer?
