Reading Progress

We have made huge progress with Eric’s reading. He was struggling so much several months ago. No confidence and refused to sound anything out. Now, he is reading a ton of books. It is awesome. He is really trying and it makes me so happy to see that.

Science

I have yet again changed the boys science. I am trying something different. Thanks to some wonderful suggestions from one of my homeschooling groups. My youngest will be reading, on his own, some I can Read books about Oceans, Dolphins. My oldest will be be starting a new book series soon, George's Secret Key to the Universe. I think he will really enjoy it. They will read along with doing several hands on activities. I'm looking forward to this.

Reading

My boys love to read. They have free reading time daily and every night before bed they have reading time. They love reading books such as Henry and Mudge, Magic Tree House, 39 Clues, The Witch Trade, Charlie Bone, Dragon Slayers Academy, The Secrets of Droon and any books about dragons.

Literature Reading

The boys are usually reading a classic literature book most days with their lessons. Such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Robinson Crusoe, A Christmas Carol, The Hobbit, Wind in the Willows, War of the Worlds etc. It’s important that they get exposed to these classic stories. While my oldest usually reads the original or more advance version of these stories my youngest reads the kids version and/or watches a movie related to the book.
