Laurie as a 1st grade reader--
When I was in 1st grade I remember reading the Dick and Jane basal readers. I was in a catholic school. I don't remember any other books in the classroom. At home I had the Dr. Seuss series on special shelf in my room. I had them in order from my favs to least fav! I also had the Disney books that came in the mail. I use to wait anxiously for my books to arrive in the mail every month. I loved the Seuss books the best. I remember laying on the floor in my room or on my bed reading and rereading On the First of Octember and One Fish Two Fish. I also remember reading various books to my dolls!
I love your description of organizing your books and being so excited for the new one to arrive. I also relate to reading them to your dolls. My dog was my best audience. He'd sit so patiently as I read and told him stories. I guess it was our practice for being teachers.
