I know he has the rest of the year to learn as much as they can teach him. And for Dexter, we are hopefully going to be able to enable him to catch up to his classmates as quickly as he can. For Daniel, I guess he will be ahead of his peers, or at least on par with them when he starts kindergarten in a year and a half.

So basically, we are now working hard with both kids to help them to reach their full potential. He knows all his letters and their sounds, and he can sound out two- and three-letter words amazingly well. To put it in perspective, though, his little brother, Dan – who just turned four – can read almost as well as he can. But he’s done so well this year to better himself, and we are so proud. He’s never gone to preschool, nor had any therapy leading up to starting kindergarten, so he was off to a harder start than others. In fact, he’s significantly behind them.īecause of his early hearing loss, for which he had surgery at almost three years old, he has been massively delayed in his learning skills. But that doesn’t mean he’s caught up to the rest of his class. He has come a LONG way since the beginning of the year, and he is way ahead of where he used to be. He’s recently had his mid-year testing done, and our parent teacher conference was very telling.

In all honesty, I’ve been amazed at his progress. I decided that the best thing I could do was to create some sight words flash cards that would help him to memorize a few of the most often appearing words so that he can begin the process of putting sentences together. As such, he tries to guess each word instead of sounding it out. But I do find that it’s sometimes hard to get him to pay attention because he wants to just get through the story, and he isn’t always so concerned with actually reading. We have this great set of Lego Star Wars phonics books that we bought him, and he has been going through them, sounding out each sight word beautifully. Over the last week, I have been working with Dexter, who just turned six, on his reading skills.
