100 Easy Lessons

Well, I have done it! I have started on a training program. It claims to be teaching my son to read, but it is really training me to be consistent and stick with a program.

Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is the book I am using and so far, it seems to be working rather well. I am sure if I spent 15 to 20 minutes each day with something he would be doing well, but I chose this one. My middle boy is reading! :) Right now we are 16 lessons in, but he can read simple words and is so proud of himself! I keep telling him that he is a Reader, and he just loves it!

Wasn't it just Christmas?

Oh boy. It happened again! I keep running to catch up with activities for the kids and then it is the next month again and we start another week, another day ...

I know this is a common problem with other families, because I hear this repeated by other moms.

Is there a way out? I have started reading the Elaine St. James Simplify books.
