We finally did day 4 of creation today. It has been forever since we did any part of it, other than reviewing what we learned. He has those days down really good. Now we will move on through the last 3 days of creation and try to keep on track. Of course, I won’t panic if we don’t. It’s not a big deal. He learns every day.
He is having trouble writing the number 2. He wants to write it from the bottom up, but that doesn’t work too well for him. Taz gets so frustrated with it, he quits. I move him on to things he is more comfortable with, and come back to that from time to time. He will figure out his groove for it eventually.
He is learning how to utilize the lines better, so he can write more neatly. The helping guide dots had eluded him for a while, but now he is getting the hang of why they are there. His name is nearly perfect the way that HE likes to write it. It’s legible, that’s all that really matters at 4 years old.
Word recognition has gone up tremendously. He can know discern which words are the same or sound similar. Rhyming words he is mostly okay with. We are working little by little on him getting more of a reading vocabulary going. He can read a few things pretty well, but then he memorizes some things and speaks them back while pretending to actually read. I guess that means when I tell him to do something, he doesn’t forget 3 seconds later. HAHA
I am going back through his workbooks and writing down what we have done for the last year and a half. I usually date the pages and keep the workbooks. I am thinking I need something more concrete than that. I have to get into the habit so when it comes time for him to go out into the world, he will have all the records he needs.
