One of the major goals in teaching young readers is to get them to use a variety of strategies in reading (pictures, first letter, does it make sense, does it follow the pattern in the book, sounding out) and sounding out is the LAST one I teach because it is the most complex. It sounds like Zachary is doing great. Don't get me wrong, it is good to sound out words, but this is not a skill that should qualify someone as "at risk." I agree that year round schooling would be great for kids - so many kids lose so much gained knowledge over the summer, and have adjustment difficulties in the fall. So summer school will probably be a great thing. I just felt the need to say that this is not something to be worried about at his age.<BR/><BR/>~ KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297007308730504310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19801124.post-27292016536491668532008-03-21T03:05:00.000-04:002008-03-21T03:05:00.000-04:00Wow, some really great updates there!
