Although little Zo Ee can read most one, two and three syllables words and has been reading short sentences (3-5words at 15-months old) occasionally, but it is still uncommon to hear little Zo Ee read longer sentences. It all much depending on little Zo Ee's mood, and surprisingly she was in a good mood today; read another longer sentence (14 words), breaking her previous record (8 - 9 words sentences at 16months old). Similarly, little Zo Ee was seen pointing and reading this long sentence word by word aloud to Mummy voluntarily just now;
"Carl has made a list of all the tools he used in one day." (14 words)
Also, Mummy noticed that little Zo Ee is able to concentrate and spend more time (5 - 10minutes) patiently browsing any new borrowed book independently. She will be attentively scanning every book, but as she understands and gets familiar with the content, she will spend lesser and lesser time on it, flipping through the book and stopping only at those pages that she still has interest at. Eventually, she will loose interest at one particular book once she has mastered every detail of it. And this whole process doesn't take longer than few days. Usually, the life-span of each book that will interest little Zo Ee is between 3 - 6days. A more complicated ones will last her throughout the week, just nice, in time for Mummy to get her new books from the library.
And luckily we do have a superb library facility here, to support little Zo Ee's big reading appetites, providing her 15-18 good books weekly and thus savings Mummy's loads of money. If Mummy were to buy that amount of books weekly, that will easily cost us S$200 per week, S$800 - S$1000 per month just on books alone.
