LOL This is true!

Oh Jen, you should hear what I'm hearing! Joshua is reading! The curriculum is taped off the satellite, you know...and I am sitting here watching and listening to him sounding out the words and reading them aloud.

I told him just now "Wow, Joshua! You're doing GREAT!" and he replied "I love to read!"

What an absolute thrill.

Now that is good to hear! Phonics make all the difference, as far as I can tell. Reason number 523,633 why no kid of mine will see a goverment school... unless I'm dead first...

OH that's EXCITING! I remember when the light dawned for Erin. I had used the Hooked on Phonics program...and there was a little booklet for her to use at the end...and she sought me out and said "Look what I can do, Mom!" and proceeded to sit down and read every single word in the booklet without pause. I was so proud.

She still wants me to read to her at night though. She's wide awake at night and IM the one going to sleep from reading to her!!! LOL

Howdy all!
