My son wrote me a story!  I was so impressed and excited that he would want to write on his own!  We've been practicing handwriting lately.  Now he appears to be much more comfortable after some practice.  My husband asked my son how he knew to spell fire.  He said he just sounded it out.  He's also more comfortable with reading as well.  Today he read another wonder book called, "Fun."  It's so encouraging to see progress and to watch him enjoy learning at home!
