He has come a LONG way since the beginning of the year, and he is way ahead of where he used to be. He’s recently had his mid-year testing done, and our parent teacher conference was very telling.

In all honesty, I’ve been amazed at his progress. I decided that the best thing I could do was to create some sight words flash cards that would help him to memorize a few of the most often appearing words so that he can begin the process of putting sentences together. As such, he tries to guess each word instead of sounding it out. But I do find that it’s sometimes hard to get him to pay attention because he wants to just get through the story, and he isn’t always so concerned with actually reading. We have this great set of Lego Star Wars phonics books that we bought him, and he has been going through them, sounding out each sight word beautifully. Over the last week, I have been working with Dexter, who just turned six, on his reading skills.
