It’s impressive to see how good Arthur’s reading is becoming. He’s currently working his way through the Peter and Jane series on Ladybird and seems to really enjoy reading them. He’s also reading the occasional word in stories that we’re reading him, just to try and get he reading that little bit more and he’s quite happy to oblige.

I’m impressed at how quickly his vocabulary is increasing, and the more he experiences different things the more varied it gets. It’s pretty cool to see him using terms that didn’t exist when I was a kid. Words like “monitor”, “download” and “website” are already pretty key terms in his vocabulary; which I find pretty impressive.

We have a big pile of books for him to work through but there are loads of others we can get once he’s done those. We can get him charity shop books, Amazon books and second-hand books from friends. He’s enjoying reading, so why not encourage it?
