We are really pleased with Oliver’s progress so far. He is still pretty slow at decoding but he CAN do it whereas a few weeks ago it seemed he didn’t know which letter of the word to begin with! He is happy to come to the computer each night. He’s also loved hearing the rhyme emerge as he re-reads the story and the way the sentence becomes fluent. He knows he has to re-read until the rhyme ‘falls into place’. We can’t wait to see his speed increase a bit as this would give him a real confidence boost at school…we will plough on!
