Alyssa reading

Alyssa is reading significantly better now.  I noticed last evening that she is looking for words within words to figure out the pronunciation. A few weeks ago she would just try to sound out the first few letters and not really try the rest of the word.  We read the Dora Pirate Pig leve 1 book and she read right through it with little problem. She's 6 years and 2 months.
