500

I reached the halfway point today in becoming a "Thousand Book Kid." Maybe I'll even reach that goal before I finish kindergarten. Next milestone is 750. If I was only reading the Book Club Books, I'd probably be there already, but we also get books from the library, and re-read stuff from my rack at home (right now, it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.) I'm getting pretty good at sounding-out and spelling a lot of words. Mom and/or Dad (or grandparents) read to me every night at bedtime (and sometimes when I wake up). Plus, Ms. Becky and my other daycare teachers love to read with me, too.
