To: Little Bill

We start first grade on August first. My son loves homeschooling, and so do I. I can't help but think that because he's not reading (other than a few sight words) yet, my son would already be carrying a lable in public school. However, reading is just not going to be his "natural" strong point. The kid's adding more than one numeral in his head, loves science, and begs almost daily for a chemistry set. (He's 6, by the way.)

Thanks for posting a great read!

Have you seen this site?:http://www.starfall.com Also, you have a dog or cat? If so, when he starts sounding things out he might want to read to the pet. These are things that have helped my daughter. She is an auditory learner, so it has been more difficult for her to learn reading than for my oldest son. Yet, she can remember things in amazing detail.

A big not-yet-coffee-filled BUMP for my typo: lable = label.

Really. I'm just now starting a second cup...
