Self Acceleration

Hendrix doesn't often sit through a children's picture book, even though he might be listening to you read, but he insists on carrying around big books. And sometimes he pulls a children's book out of my hands to replace it with a high interest, 3-inch thick book.

When sitting down with a big book, he seems to study the words before he closes it and carries it with him. Perhaps he's just trying to figure out why there are a ton of letters and there are patterns of chunks and certain letters.

He'll carry the books to bed and sleep with them, tightly holding onto one or two and sometimes cuddled underneath. We'll continue to work on formative goals and provide him with essential tools for when he decides that maybe the children's books have something to offer.
