#sol14 March 14 I Call Them Readers

I call them readers,

When they are blending

Letters into words,
Words into sentences,

When they are reading

Those phonetic readers,
Including those paper books I have written

(that I hope to someday publish)

When they are reading

The Scholastic phonetic pseudo-chapter books,

I am Sam, A Lot of Hats.

When they maneuver

Through Little Bear,

Danny and the

 Dinosaur, 

To Young Cam Jansen. 

I know I have done my job well,

No APPR has a category for this,

When they ask

To stay a few more minutes to finish a chapter,

Or to take home a book or two.
