Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Was very pleased this evening at hearing the children read. They sat round their mamma & read verse about a chapter of the bible. They have all a very good idea of reading, Harry especially, only unfortunately his stammering frequently spoils his efforts. Sissy & Dotty do not stammer but speak far from plainly. There are a great many words that Dotty cannot manage try she ever so hard'
