Learning to read

Over the past few months, Hayden has really taken an interest in reading.  He has always loved books, but was never really interested in learning letters or phonics.  I noticed one day he was really trying to sound out words and started asking me what certain words spell.  It was like all of a sudden, it clicked.  It is really hard to keep Hayden's interest, probably any boys interest at this age, so I thought about what was Hayden's favorite thing to do.  That is easy...eating snacks.  So I picked up some Cheez Its and he had a blast reading and spelling words.
