Hi – I wanted to send a quick note. I noticed last week that during our nightly reading together, reading had suddenly become easier to her, and she is able to sound out long multi-syllable words. I asked her teacher (primary 5) if she was seeing progress during school also. The teacher responded that Anna’s confidence has taken a big leap in the positive direction, she is participating in group discussions more, reading alound with expression, self correcting during reading, and recognizing punctuation with reading aloud. The teacher gave her the weekly class prize, and said she really enjoyed Anna’s in-class reading exercise.
So, bottom line – we’ve turned a long, hard corner!!!! As a parent, I’m on cloud 9, but I can see Anna is on cloud 10!
