Reading Instruction
Siena is making steady progress with AAR. She is able to sound the individual letters and put all the letter sounds together with reasonable ease. She can lack discipline at times so we progress in ‘fits and starts’.

Mariah and Genevieve read alot! Their favourite pastime and it still thrills me to see Genevieve read who was late to read and later to fall in love with reading.
