Nathan enjoys his Easyread lessons best of all his school work. We use it has a reward. He likes that Funky Monkey Jungle is optional and tends to just skip it. He has not been re-reading the lessons lately because he reads them so well without any mistakes and fluently on the first read. He has finally worked through his issues with some of the silly characters. He has begun to transfer his decoding over to other areas of his studies. I am also more aware of how psychologically challenging his lessons are for him, so I am trying to implement some Easyread concepts into his homeschooling, mainly the positive reinforcement and 5-1 praise to negative comment ratio.
I really enjoyed reading the recent Facebook article about the young man who is actually picking up books and reading them on his own. I would be so excited when that day comes for Nathan.
Thank you for all you do!
