Isaac loves to read and that makes me very happy. I read to him all the time as a baby, toddler, and up until 1st grade when he began enjoying to read to himself. Now, he will sit and finish a book in 24 hours or less if he so chooses. His current favorite series are the Percy Jackson, Rangers Apprentice, and Warriors books.
This year in fourth grade he joined Battle of the Books. His team met every Tuesday morning before school and had a list of 14 Jr. high level books to read. I have to say that some of the books were not very interesting but he managed to read 13 1/2 before the 'battle'. He read books about the Holocaust, the Great Depression, and the Salem Witch trials. They definitely need to pick a few 'uplifting' books for next year. Here are a picture from the event. They wouldn't let us take pictures during the actual battle so this is one I manged to snap during snack time. Isaac did really well answering his questions and he was excited about his trophy.
