Aug. 8, 2007 - When it clicks!!!
I am not sure it has totally clicked. But this morning when we were doing school we started our day off doing a diagram of an oyster for our Swiss Family Robinson Lapbook, then I picked 2 books for my son to try to read to me. I have not done this in about a month or so. He started to read them w/ no problem. He looked at me and said "MOM I CAN READ" He was so proud of himself. Next thing he said was " Time4Learning IS REALLY WORKING! " I was so shocked that he put the two together.
See about 2 weeks ago I lowered his level in Language Arts and he has been flying high ever since. That is what I love about this program. You can play around w/ the levels as you see fit. Biggun will stay on longer then his 30 minutes because he is laughing and having so much fun on this level.
Biggun is also taking his "brain vitamins" daily (M-F) Along w/ no dairy. I think we are on the right track!
When we came home from work today Biggun asked if he could read his Daddy a book. I told him of course. But he refused to try it w/o me there. I had to sit w/ him while he read. So now we need to work on reading out loud to other people.
I did notice when he was reading today and tonight that some words he would start to sound out from the end to the begining. Example step he would start w/ pets. He is also still writing letters and numbers backwards. Where others can read faster he is having to slow and make his mind read it correct.
