From Connie's mom, Corina:
I had canceled our subscription, due to complete lack of interest by my daughter. You encouraged us to continue receiving the Tessy and Tab books to see if Connie would be drawn into the receiving of mail and eventually the reading. You were absolutely right! She loves them now, as does my star 5 year old reader! Elena, the 5 year old has started asking Connie (almost 4 years old) to read her a bedtime story now. Connie is always very pleased to comply. It is adorable. Connie has become very possessive of her collection and often won't let her older sister read or touch any. We love to hear and watch Connie tell the stories on the pages without even reading it to her first. She is just starting to pick out and recognize the letters as words and it is fun watching her be so curious and creative with the language and text. She is so proud of herself!!! Thank you.
