At the end of a particularly exciting page, he said, "Nana, that's an exclamation mark-- you're supposed to read it like this..." Then he proceeded to "read" the line in his most excited voice. I thought I knew something about Reading--after all I teach about it at two universities, but a three and a half year old set me straight today!
