I'm a Prodigy!

So, I've learned some pretty great things this week, like how to read and how to write a book report. With mom and dad always talking about their students' writing skills, it wasn't hard to pick up on the basics. Now, actually typing that stuff out took a little work, but I'm getting there.



Here is just a basic description of how I wrote my first book report on my favorite book in the whole world, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises. (Dad says you know it's a good academically rigorous book if it has a semi-colon in it's title.)


Obviously, I had to read the book first. Mom and Dad are always wondering (out loud) whether their students actually completed this step, so I assumed it was pretty important. Here's me opening the book and getting ready to read.


(Hmmm...I wonder what this book is about...I've only read it, like, a bazillion times...)


They also say it's good to look at the pictures and guess what will happen next.


(I bet Mr. Brown is going to sound like a rooster! Okay, okay, so I have the book memorized already.)



A good reader relates the story to his own life.

(No way!!! Mr. Brown makes thunder?!?!? I wish I could do that!)


When you're done reading, it's good to tell someone about what you read, so you don't forget it.




(...and then he says "SPLATT! SPLATT! SPLATT!" which is supposed to sound like lightning, but I don't really think lightning sounds like that...)


Then, it's time to write! Here's me typing out my rough draft (with a little help).


Mommy copied what I typed in Microsoft Word to share it with all my avid readers. Enjoy!!!
