Well, reading words, at least. I think the technicality of "reading" is multiple words together in sentences, but I'll use her ability to sound out words and read them as reading.
Emily has been passionate about letters for awhile now. Then she wanted to read. It's been rough because although she could sound things out phonetically, she wasn't getting the actual words. She's getting it now, though!
Her favorite book to read is The Rhyming Dust Bunnies. Don't be deceived. I know what is memorized versus what she is reading. If you could see her sounding out the words and then saying them, you'd understand that this is real. It's so cute and has lessened her frustration at trying to read. Now, if she'll just let us continue to read the Scriptures to her! (There are just too many difficult words there for a 3.5 year old.)

That's awesome! What a smarty. And for the record, keep at the Book of Mormon thing. That's the book I learned to actually read in. Hard....yes, but very beneficial.
I've heard a lot of people teach their children to read from the Book of Mormon and be successful. Congratulations to Emily for reading!
I don't mind her reading from it...for family scriptures we just want to read more than a verse every night so we can remember where we are....it's hard enough to go by chapters for some reason, and when we stop mid-chapter....verse by verse would be, well, crazy and nearly impossible for us.
