Reagan loves to read out loud at 23 mths!

Another milestone we've reached!  Reagan is beginning to read out loud from 23 months old onwards . Click the video which was taken when he was 24mths. He may not be able to pronounce the words very well yet, but I'm glad he is trying really hard to read the words and sentences.

When he was a baby, reading books together is one of our favourite past-times. I would point and read the words out loud before describing the pictures on the pages. Gradually when he is older ard 1year+, I made him point to the words while I read out for him. And when he turns nearly 23 mths, he began to read out the words he points on the books. And then his reading just takes off from here! I really love to hear him read, his cute babyish voice sounds so squeaky high-pitch hahaha!

Reagan is extremely obsessed with books (as usual). He buries himself with all his books everynight, or carries his books around, looking for anyone at home who can read them together with him.  

This is the first book he can read out all by himself. 

Brown Bear Brown Bear, What do you see?  by Eric Carl. I've been reading this book to him since he was a baby and till now, it's still his all-time favourite title! I used to make him point to the different animals, while I describe to him one by one,like the colours and the sounds they made etc. He finds it so amusing especially when he was still a baby.

After he succeeded reading out his very first book, I began to search for new series of storybooks that we can use to practice his reading. I ordered the Spot series storybooks online and he loves them very much! I bought like 8 different titles, and below 4 are what we've began to read together. 

The pictures are cute, bright and colourful. The sentences are not only short and simple,they are also bold, dark and clear too, which makes reading easier for him. 

Reagan enjoys reading every adventure of Spot,the puppy. He can recognise and read most of the words by himself and able to relate them to the pictures. Therefore I knew I've made the right choice of books for him. 

I guess soon, I need to search for more new titles. Well, I hope he continues to enjoy reading as much as I enjoy listening to him read hehe!
