Just peered over Joshua's shoulder at his worktext he was working on. He had to look at picture then read a list of words and choose the word that went with the picture. Like a picture of a cat with the words pup, cat, hut next to it. Then he had to circle the correct word. He did this as "silent" reading...and he just did great...quickly and accurately.
I paused his tape and knelt down beside him and said "You know, Joshua...you can't ever say 'I can't read' again...some kids your age might say 'I can't read.', but you can't say that any more. You CAN read!"
He just beamed. I'm so tickled for him.
Your pride for him is so important, 2J!!
You know, 2J...I'm really glad to know you.
I've been so stressed out with work and everything else that I haven't really taken the time to offer those small encouragements to Becky lately.
Thanks for reminding me what my priority should be.
