This is the year that I have been told Connor will start to make huge strides in letter and word recognition, writing words, and possibly even reading by time he is 5. He is definitely showing some great progress. During summer school, he would bring booklets home of letters that he had practiced writing for the day. He is now working with the teacher assistant on a regular basis on writing words. For home, we gave him some maze and puzzle books that he loves to work on.
He will ask us how to spell a word and then he will write that word....here is an example where he wrote his and Brady's name from memory and then asked how to spell mom, dad, and Seaton. He messed up the 2nd D in dad, so decided that he would fix it by changing it to a B and rename Dad to Dabs. The S at the end of each name is for Seaton, but you can't see the period very well.
He also has shown interest in reading the newspaper and he will key in on certain letters, numbers, and pictures. He was really focused on a $49 offer to Florida in Sunday's paper and a train swap show coming in a couple weeks (too bad we will be in Chicago).
I love seeing what Connor has learned!
