Jake is reading for the fun of it. And listening to him read, it's obvious that Phonics have risen in popularity. He reads each page by sounding out the consonants and vowels as he comes to them. Thus a word like "trip" will come out "ttttttt rrrrrrr iiiiiiii pppppp, then trrrr iiiii ppppp, and finally trriiippp." He likes to read for guests such as Grandpa and Grandma.
But the main thing he enjoys (almost as much as reading) is marking the chore off on his chart. Whatever reward Mom has picked out, he knows that each check mark brings him that much closer.
