Proud of my little HP-Poppet

[Anne]

Just had to share that I am now re-reading GOF to Maya (age 6 2/3, 
finishing first grade) - we have read all the other books twice and 
this is our second reading of GOF. The first time I read it to her, 
last fall, when she had just entered 1st grade, it took us about 8 
weeks to read it, averaging 15-20 pages per night. Now, after 
listening to POA, SS and COS again (in that order), her attention 
span has really grown, and it took only 4 nights to read 144 pages 
(through The Dark Mark). We're averaging about 35 pages per night and 
we even read *50* pages last night (Quidditch World Cup and The Dark 
Mark). She always surprises me with what she remembers from books she 
hasn't heard in months - she remembered the leprechauns from the QWC, 
whereas I'd totally forgotten about them. Of course, being so young, 
she has a lot more room left in her brain than Mom does!

read anything else to her!!!)
