June Book List

David and I knew our five year old daughter was a voracious reader, but before this past month neither of us had any idea just how many books she read and finished on her own.

June Book List

In June we (as a family) decided to keep track. Each time our daughter finished a chapter book, we added the title to her book list.

Last month she read: Half Magic | The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe | Knight’s Castle | Kirsten, Kirsten Learns a Lesson, Kirsten’s Surprise, Happy Birthday Kirsten, Kit Learns a Lesson, Kit’s Surprise, Happy Birthday Kit, Kit Saves the Day (American Girl books) | Bicycle Mystery, Bus Station Mystery, Mystery Behind the Wall, Mystery in the Sand (Boxcar Children books) | Some Good News, Wedding Flowers (Cobble Street Cousins books) | Ivy and Bean

Adding to her book list for June

That’s a total of 18 chapter books in 30 days. This tally doesn’t include books we read to her or books she read to her brother.

Big sister is always busy reading

(To put things in perspective, I read three books last month. Clearly mama needs to carve out more time for her own independent reading.)

I hope our daughter always makes the time to read.

Reading at the table

And may she pursue all her interests with equal enthusiasm, dedication, and passion!

  2. Oh my! This has got to be the best, most amazing post ever!! A budding book worm! Joining the ranks of book lovers in the family ~ and only 5 years old!! I am so so proud of her!! A lifetime of reading pleasure lies ahead of her. Thanks to Mom and Dad for reading to their children every day! What a gift to love books!

  3. Three books is great! I read 1 and parts of lots of other books. And that included a week of vacation.

    I think if we get rid of the cable finally, we all will read lots more!

    Do blogs count?!
