I was so proud of my son today. When he took his end of the year test last year he had trouble with reading comprehension. He could read but he concentrated so hard on the word that he didn't get the meaning. He was too busy concentrating on one word at a time. We have been doing a new reading comprehension workbook on Tom Sawyer. Not only did he read it he answered all of the comprehension questions correct. Then he read a Dr. Seuss book with his sister(who is 5). He let her read all of the words that she could read and then read all of the ones that she couldn't. He pointed to each word with his finger. So this child who tested borderline in reading just last year is now teaching his little sister to read. I just love these moments when I get to see my child really learning and helping others. I wouldn't give up homeschooling for anything in the world.
