Coronation Ceremony

This was a big week for Lily as she has completed all 50 books for the Battle of the Books. This means that she read the book, filled out a very brief report, and then took a comprehension test on one of the computers at school. For a reward she got the remaining keys for her keychain (big laminated paper keys for every 5 books) and a gold crown made from a wire Christmas garland. She was very happy to join her three other classmates as those who have finished all 50 books.

This is all fun, but the important thing is that Lily's reading skills have vastly improved. The Battle of the Books was part of it, but the requirement to read 20 minutes each night has also helped. Lily is turning into a very capable little reader. We knew that this day would come eventually.
