Reading motivation: Harry Potter y la cámara secreta

Near the end of the year, Adam's teacher had started reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to the class, but was unable to finish it. Adam asked if I could read it aloud at home. I gladly said yes and we finished it a couple of days ago.

Now we're reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but this time around, I'm reading for my own practice the Spanish version - Harry Potter y la cámara secreta. So far, I'm really enjoying it! (Yes, I actually haven't read any of the books and I've only seen the first movie. *gasp*)

So, before I read a chapter aloud in English to them, I first read it in Spanish. Today I read three chapters! I even read some aloud to practice my pronunciation. (I highly recommend doing this on a daily basis - even if it's for 10 minutes.) As for my motivation, it comes from the boys. "Mom, have you read the chapters? When can you read to us? Aren't you finished yet?" Too funny...
