“Yes I won and I am a slacker. I am only just now posting about it. I wont these books from a random drawing on Yarns of the Heart. Thanks so much for the books. They are on the shelf just waiting for us to dive in. My son was extremely excited to get these. [...]
My Cat, the Silliest Cat in the World by Gilles Bachelet and My G-R-R-R-Reat Uncle Tiger by James Riordan were two books on our summer roster. The first has a picture of the “cat” eliminating, which caught us both off guard. He read most of that one by himself. He is mastering the phonics of [...]
Today he took the reigns on Tim and Jim Takeoff and is reading mostly by himself with a little help from me. I am so proud I have tears in my eyes. He has read nearly 3 full pages with no help at all. I am so happy!!!
We just read The Best Vacation Ever by Stuart J. Murphy and A Children’s Book about Whining by Joy Berry. I think I will continue in the series of books that are supposed to help the child build a better character. I read that one to him, but he helped me read the book about [...]

I have started the Help Me Be Good series with him, especially since he wants to learn about being a good person. A children’s book about being selfish (Help [...]
Easy workbook pages, hard lesson: following directions. The whole point today is for him to follow the directions as given, not to do what has not been asked of him such as, if the paper says color the triangles green, don’t color the rectangles blue. Well, at least not until after I have seen that [...]
I’m Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem has made me think we should get more from the Jamie/Laura team of authors. I got this one from the library. It’s a fun tale about self-esteem. It’s really god, especially when my son can read the smaller transitional words like I, a, me (etc.). We [...]

Today he decided to do more words. I cannot stop this kid! He is loving learning on his little chalkboard easel. We did a number of words. He also remembered that some words have a long A sound because they end in E. The two words he did today for that were cake and cage. [...]
