When my niece, Taylor, was about 7 or 8, she told me that she was intimidated by chapter books. My response was that if she was able to use the word "intimidated" correctly, chapter books shouldn't pose a problem.
Last night, Oliver and I started reading his first "chapter book" ever - one without pictures. We read the first chapter of the 3rd Harry Potter book and, except for a few sidebars regarding the definition of such terms as "luminous" and "untrustworthy," he really enjoyed it and seemed to understand it!
One day, he won't need me to read to him, and that will be so sad.
