He did a good job sequencing numbers starting on digits other than 1(2-10, 4-12, etc) but I could tell that  it blew his mind&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[Copeland has had quite a breakthrough in his reading. He has always loved reading, but most of the time his oration was monotonic and the cadence was just a little off. He got most of the words right and he sounded out unfamiliar words accurately.
But now, he is actually reading the stories with inflection and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brightseahacademy.wordpress.com&blog=4982658&post=17&subd=brightseahacademy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I did notice when we did handwriting in a plate of salt that he had an easier time and his letters looked [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brightseahacademy.wordpress.com&blog=4982658&post=15&subd=brightseahacademy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We worked on the th sound. He pronounces it as /f/ in familiar words, but when he sounds out unfamiliar words, he pronounces it right.
He&#8217;s doing very well with spelling. He segments words very well and can type the letters proficiently, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=brightseahacademy.wordpress.com&blog=4982658&post=13&subd=brightseahacademy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

My pressures and procrastination are wearing on me so I wasn&#8217;t thinking clearly. The kids were/are very understanding.

He does fine when I get the ball rolling, but my organization, or lack thereof, is causing us to lose time and sometimes not to start at all.
