New Appreciation for Dr. Seuss

I've always loved Dr. Seuss's books.  The rhyming, the silly, fuzzy, people-ish creatures, the nonsense, Dr. Seuss really has it all. 

Sometimes when we're reading and practicing fluency, I worry that my daughter is just remembering and parroting to me, instead of actually sounding out and reading (I've caught her 'reading' books for school whilst looking elsewhere other than ze book). 

The nonsense element really keeps my daughter engaged, and I can really see her working to pronounce those kooky words and names, like, "Van-Vleck".

Cheers, Dr. Seuss!
