Adam completed All About Reading Level 1 today!! He has worked very hard on his lessons and is reading SO well! He has mastered every single one of the 174 sight words in this level. I gave him a little word test I found online and I’m guessing he’s reading at about a 2nd grade level! He absolutely loves to read to us and to himself. He takes piles of books into his bed and reads them on his own and he reads his Book of Mormon multiple times a day! I love that he LOVES to read! I know it doesn’t come easily for many kids, and I truly think this is one of his gifts and talents. Plus, All About Reading is awesome!!
We started basically exactly 1 year ago, on 10/10/12 and finished on 10/25/13. It took longer than it should have because we had a long break while we moved and then while trying to settle in and get my bearings in a new state.
Here is Adam when we finished Level Pre-1. The change in him between the two pictures took my breath away! I still see him as that little almost 5 year old and not this big, almost 6 year old! My baby is growing up too fast!!
To celebrate his big accomplishment, we went out to dinner and he chose Buffalo Wild Wings. We gave him a little gift.
Chapter books! Well, beginner chapter books. I just got these from Usborne as a recommendation to bridge the gap between readers and chapter books.
He immediately cracked one open to read while waiting for our food. And he read in the car all the way home!
I love the way he reads! He is so expressive and does great voices!
We both can’t wait to start Level 2!
