Hop on Pop by Dr. Seuss

I am so, so, so excited about this! Alex has denied being able to read (and sometimes to even recognize letters that are actually IN his name) for quite a while. Recently it dawned on me that while it was fun to read bigger books, we probably needed to cover some that he could read, too. So I pulled out the trusty Dr. Seuss. The first time we read it he sounded out several words. Now that we've read it the requisite 3 times to put it on his reading list for school, he's reading more than half of it by himself. Yay, Alex!
