Levi's reading is improving. I can't say he is anywhere near fluent yet but he is getting there. If we could just stay away from the Long Word Freakout he would do a whole lot better. He stresses if there is a word that he hasn't seen before and unless I can make him laugh with the 'freakout' routine, he will either cry or lose interest, depending on his fatigue level. He is better though every day and it is heartening to watch him. I am not sure at what point he morphs into an avid reader but I live in hope! Tonight he was excited because he read 'celebrate' without a freakout. I love the concept of the Long Word Freakout because:
A. It is really Dr Ruth and find that hysterical, the idea that they would slide that in there and
B. It is a really good way of reminding them to stop and breakup words into smaller and more managable bits.
It is raining again. It's raining steadily but not hard and although that will boost the creek's volume, it won't make the causeway impassable. It has dropped the ambient temperature and that can only be a blessing. I am chilling out too. It is nice. I am feeling less stretched at home and at work and finding that I am getting more done at both places because of it. Some of it is my endless chest infection is starting to let up and I only cough hard in the mornings now. The only downside of this sort of rain is that the grass loves it and yardwork on the weekend will be inevitable.
