Child-led reading

Carson loves for me to read to him. He loves short stories and long chapter books such as "Magic Tree House series", "Black Beauty", "Little House books", and the latest, "Chronicles of Narnia".
I know that he knows his letter sounds and some sound combinations, but until now had no interest in reading a book himself.
Well, a couple of days ago he dug out some phonics books that I had put away (for lack of interest). They are books 1 - 14 from the hooked on phonics series. Anyway, to my amazement he immediately read books 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5! He loved them and understood the silly jokes that he read. The next day, he picked them up and read books 6 -14. He asked a couple times about certain words, but otherwise read and understood what he read quite well. He has such pride in knowing that he read them all by himself.
This sums up my teaching style of child-led learning. Many times I see myself as a facilitator of his learning rather than a teacher to him. He chose to read without any influence from me. This is what I want for him, to have interest in things and not lose interest because it has been forced upon him.
