Savannah is reading this book right now. She loves it; reads it every night and every time we get in the car. She draws pictures of Robin Hood and his bow and arrow. She pretends to be Robin Hood and climbs up in the trees. LOVES it.
I gave her a school assignment to write a narration about what she has read so far. It had to be at least five sentences. Here is what she wrote, as she wrote it, spelling and all. For the record:
"Robin Hood lives in Sherwood forest. When ever he or one of the men go somewhere, they disgise in scarlet. The Sheriff of Nottingham town is always tricked by Robin Hood. He went to a shooting-match and won a golden arrow. Little John won two fat steers. In the middle of the forest there was a certin tree. On the tree Robin Hood hung the golden arrow. Robin Hood told little John he had to go to Ancaster. Soon, it started to rain and he had to stay at Blue Boar Inn. He stayed the whole night. The next day he saw Arther a Bland. They foght almost half an hour. Soon they stopped. Robin Hood popped out of the bushes. He told who he was. Arther A. Bland was amased. He joined the band and then all three walked to Ancaster."
And HERE is a sample of the book. It is not an easy read.
I'm impressed with Charlotte too. She is on her second book of the Narnia series and she is not yet seven years old! I was not reading like this when I was their age.
