We've been doing bedtime stories every night for years and encouraging him to practice reading. Tonight he grabbed a Wimpy Kid book and just sat there reading the whole thing to himself without asking for help once. When he finished he was so proud he was basically glowing. Best feeling ever.
That's the best feeling ever right? We've been doing bedtime stories since my daughter was born and watching that moment click is incredible. What book did he start with?
This is such a cool moment. The consistency with bedtime stories really does work. Now get ready for him to want to read everything in sight though, book budget just went up.
Wimpy Kid was the gateway for my kids too. Once they realize they can actually do it, there's no stopping them. You nailed it with the nightly routine.
Those bedtime story investments always come through. New dad here and this is exactly what I want for my kid down the road.
That's the moment right there. My oldest just hit this milestone too and the pride on their face is unforgettable. All those bedtime stories paid off big time.

Dude yes! My oldest just hit this milestone and I was probably more excited than he was. All those nights of reading finally paying off.
