Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. I know my son is smart but sometimes I do feel like I have failed him. I will share the story of Edison with him. He has heard about him and learned about his inventions, but I don't think we have learned about his struggles early in school.
After looking at the AAR sample I think I will go with that one and maybe give spelling a break for now. He has come to hate dictation that I used with SWR.
Thanks again, Merry.
