Emily is obsessive about writing everything and traditional learning. Homeschooling boys is where the action is. Glad you are having fun with it still!

I know, I know. I am slow on the uptake and its not an abreviation we use here. That's my mistake.<br />I made the opposite mistake with reading. My girls learnt (easily) with one program and after an eight year gap I started the boys using a phonics program which many her loved. Bad move. I should have stuck with the other which would have suited the boys better. We used in only for twelve months but by then they were already struggling. Turns out they have APD and needed different stuff anyway.

Matt is already reading (not sure which official "level" he is reading at, but he can read any book on the level of Cat in the Hat) - but he can't write very well at all. Boys definitely have a different timeline with the fine motor skills!<br /><br />Before Matt started Kindergarten, I just worked with him by reading to him a LOT and we had the Bob books, too. He started kindergarten ahead of the pack... I hope to do the same with Nolan.leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004783118268323560noreply@blogger.com
