CJ figured out math fairly quickly and has been able to pick out words, carefully sounding them out, for a long time...but it has just been within the last 6-8 months that it has come easily. His teacher calls it his fluency rate. He is good at decoding, just not quickly.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Reading really is a miracle, isn't it? It's just an incredible thing. Spoken language is incredible enough. Someone(s) thought up these sounds to communicate ideas. But then reading? Someone(s) thought up these symbols to communicate sounds, which communicate ideas, and you can decode them, and use the code yourself.

Yeah, I read an article once that showed how it takes four or five parts of your brain to get reading to work! No wonder people struggle.

It is pretty cool.
He is doing his first report for school. He had to research an animal and write a report on its habitat, eating habits, appearance, and other facts. He has written it all up, but wants his final report typed, so he has been working on typing the last couple of days. I have to help him get this assembled before my vacation...gah!!!
