8filltheheart Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Those are the moments that make it all worthwhile, aren't they! :) Yippie for both of you. Quote
Mogster Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 YAY!! Aren't those moments so wonderful?!! I too had a very reluctant little reader who struggled -- Frog and Toad became one of the first books he actually learned to enjoy (and read well). Lobel writes such great books! Quote
chiguirre Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 :hurray: :party: :thumbup: and for you: :cheers2: Congratulations! Quote
Nicole M Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 :hurray: :party: :thumbup: and for you: :cheers2: Congratulations! I don't know what's cracking me up more: these little celebratory:smilielol5: guys, or the reading to the cat! (What a great way to start my morning!) Thanks for sharing. As the mother of a very late reader, I get how exciting this is. Quote
Harriet Vane Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Thank God there was a patient cat there to listen. ;) Quote

Dayle in Guatemala Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Isn't it a great feeling when they finally get it? Good job mom!:cheers2: Quote
Pensguys Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Thank God there was a patient cat there to listen. ;) Thank you everyone....VERY much!!! :grouphug: We have a pre-diagnosis of dyslexia, but since I changed the reading program this year for him, along with adding in vision therapy and some maturity, he seems to be just blossoming with his reading now. He told me that Jack (the cat) went to sleep and that he read Jack to sleep. He also said the words were "baby words" so that is very encouraging that he feels he didn't have any problems with the words. Quote
Jenny in Atl Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 I love the look they give you when they finally get it! I'm so happy for you. :hurray: Quote
BizyPenguin Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 My ds and I LOVED Frog and Toad!! We have the Frog and Toad Treasury and it's the book that he learned to read from. It worked better than any phonics program ever did for him. I had to reply b/c I just LOVE Frog and Toad. It brings back many fond memories for me. (Time flies!) I'm now enjoying reading it to my 2yo dd. Quote
Pensguys Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks to both of you!!! I'm really pleased with my ds progress! Quote
