I just wanted to say we are starting to see Cole decoding and not just guessing. This morning he wanted to read a paragraph in front of a group, one that he has not gone over. We were surprised he made no mistakes! On words we knew he has not seen much he actually slowed down and read them correctly. They were ‘infirm’, ‘interchange’. and ‘accompany’. I am still trying to get him to slow down on words he considers easy, but the games help with that because if he reads it too fast or didn’t decode it he makes a mistake, or will make one if I don’t help him. I am going to try to make some words with just the pictures to see if this helps. We just wanted to let you know how proud we were of him slowing down and not guessing at a word. This is a first!
Thanks again, T
