Hannah and Ben both enjoy reading. Hannah will sit and read for hours at a time sometimes. Even when she was first learning, she would usually read through a whole book, though she would sometimes get tired. Ben reads this way:
(Sitting on the couch)
Ben: Ssss - aaaa - mmmm. Sam! (Bounces emphatically off the back of the couch.)
Me: What comes next? (Pointing to the word.)
Ben: Sam! Bam! Mam! (Bouncing head off couch with each word.)
Me: No, Ben, look at the word.
Ben: H - haaaaa-ssss - Has! Sam has! (Bouncing his head off my cheek!)
Me: Ouch, Ben! Are you sure you want to do this right now?
Ben: Yes! (Bouncing his head off the couch.)
(Repeat for each word.)
Did I mention that Ben cannot sit still? At all? Even to do something he wants to do?
So that is how we read together... cuddling and bouncing off the couch!

I just saw your blog on bbc's homeschooling board and stopped by. I know this is an old post, but I wanted to comment because your son sounds EXACTLY like mine when he reads! Too funny! Anyways, thanks for sharing!
