March Reading List

Here's March's reading list, for what it's worth.  I feel a little like I'm cheating on the Mercy Watson books, but one, I need a little help catching up, and hey, when you have your two-year-old helping you read, even short chapters deserve a little credit.  We discovered Mercy Watson this month when I asked the librarian for help in finding full-color chapter books to help my 5-year-old build his attention span.  She was right, he loved these, and he had no problem reading these books on his own.  On the other hand, he still didn't need a bookmark because they are short, so we're still looking.  He's so spoiled to have full-color books.  Maybe I need to look for awesome black and white story books and that would help.  I'm sure once he figures it out, there will be no holding him back.  :)  We're still behind our goal for the year though, so I need to keep pushing myself!  Here are a few resources that I plan on tapping into for help (thank you BrillKids forum).  (I post these to help ME find them later, lol).
