He is very, very, very excited. To him, it means he is really and truly becoming a bigger boy, because now he has begun Grade 1, turned 6 and developed a wobbly tooth. What more evidence could a boy ask for?
And he is doing great now with his homework reading program. He has begun bringing home the readers from the 1970s/1980s Endeavour Reading Programme, an Australian series of readers published by Jacaranda Press. They are generally phonetically based, with the inclusion of some sight words, but not an overwhelming number. They are just what Joshua needed at this stage of his reading to improve his fluency while he continues to work on his decoding skills.
Pam put a box on the mat.
Digger is on that mat, too.
Woof! Woof! What is in the box?
Sniff, sniff. Is it a bone?
Sniff, sniff. What is it?
