Mariel: "I love dictation! I don't know why, but I love it!"
(I'm sure she will regret having said that later, but still. I have *never* heard a child rejoice at the idea of doing studied dictation. And this was just as she sat down to study a new passage, so she was fixing to have to do it. I was so encouraged.)
Cornflower: "I want to learn big words. Lots of big words. Do you have a book for that?"
(Aravis and I gave her two books by Eleanor Estes, one by E. Nesbit, and the dictionary.)
