He's doing WONDERFUL in 2 areas!


Recommended Posts

Ds is doing absolutely amazing with our new phonics lessons, and his cursive handwriting!

 

He has been able to spell every word asked of him during the lesson, tolerates me pausing the lesson as needed, and the bible verse reading!!! (We lack any religion or belief and i thought he was going to fight the end of lesson reading, but he listens patiently!)

 

I'd love to post a pic of a handwriting page but i don't know how. Lol. I've noticed that he will have a problem with a new letter, but when we move to the next letter, the previous one is pretty solid. I have him write the letter on the whiteboard to near perfection, then 3 more times correct, and leave him to do the book on his own.

 

He no longer fights these 2 subjects (relatively!) and they get done well. He only had a tantrum about math today! And we're doing time which is hard for him.

 

On monday I'm going to have him start reading to me again. We're going to start with a single minute and increase every few days until we hit 15 minutes. We'll stay at 15 for a while and increase difficulty. Once i figure out what level is easy for him, but not too easy, I'll increase the time again.

 

All of this will depend on his continued success with the phonics lessons and our new 7 day schedule.

 

I am absolutely thrilled at this progress right now. I hope we can continue the progress while decreasing some of the verbal vomit that follows me around.

 

Off to attempt school with dd.
