I found a series of books at the library that are for beginning readers. Carter really likes them. Each one focuses on a particular letter sound or phonics rule. Here he is reading "Hot Pot." He has read this about 5 times before, so it's not like he's seeing these words for the first time, but he's still definitely working to decode them and put the sentences together.
It's about 5 minutes long, but I think it's cute so I uploaded the whole thing (mostly for the benefit of grandparents!).
You may not be able to understand everything he says... sometimes he talks fast. At one point in the middle he looks at a page and says, "Um... That one is a hard one for me. But - I can try it..." :)
At the end of the book there's a word list, and as he reads each one he turns around and puts the word in a sentence based on the context in which it appears in the book. For example, for "hot" he turns around and asks me, "Did you know the pot was hot?" And for "job" he asks, "Did you know we helped Mom to do a job, Mama?" just like it says in the story. Too cute.
