6 years old, just finished her first chapter book completely on her own. She sat on the couch for like an hour reading "The Baby-Sitters Club" to me with barely any help. When she finished the last page she looked up at me with the biggest smile and said "Dad I did it!" I might have gotten a little emotional. These moments make all the tough stuff worth it.
That's huge! My 6 year old just started doing this and I'm amazed at how proud she gets sitting there reading the whole thing. You're gonna want to take a pic of her doing it because they grow so fast.
Baby-Sitters Club is the perfect choice for that age too. My son picked those up last year and we've probably read through half the series now. An hour on the couch is basically a win for us parents too if we're being honest.
This is awesome, man. That focus and sitting still for an hour straight at 6 is no joke. My daughter just got into chapter books and it's wild seeing her confidence grow with each one she finishes.
That's such a huge milestone! My oldest just finished her first chapter book last month and the pride on her face was incredible. You're gonna want to remember this moment forever.
This is the best feeling. Seriously nothing beats watching them get that independence with reading. Did she want to pick the next book or are you choosing?

Dude that's awesome. My 3 month old is still drooling on things but I'm already thinking about this milestone. How long did it take her to get through the whole thing?
