What they're reading: Nate & Julie edition

Here's Julie reading Dr. Seuss for the first time, and like everything else she puts her mind to, she's improving by leaps and bounds. At the beginning of school, her teacher said she's one of the best readers in her class, which surprised us given how she just started reading. Nate's also a strong reader, and his favorite books now are Harry Potter. We've stopped him at book four since the stories get increasingly darker, so we're trying to find other series that will interest him. His reading assessment at the beginning of the year? 2nd grade reading speed: 44 words per minute. Nate's speed? 180.
