Reading!

JRL started reading this week. She read the first two BOB Books on Wednesday. Needless to say, we are thrilled.

Basically, when she had trouble with blending sounds (we were using Phonics Pathways), I did not really know what to do. Then DH saw a copy of Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons while we were on vacation, so we tried that. It works a lot more on blending, so for that portion of JRL's reading instruction anyway, it worked very well. We may go back to PP for further instruction, as the format of 100 Easy Lessons is a bit repetitive even for JRL.

Exciting times.... and only a little over a month until JRL starts kindergarten! :)
