March Blog

I have been using the Sonday reading system with some of my students this year. It has been a struggle for these students to both sound out each of the letters in a word and then to blend them together. I finally had a break through with one of these students this week. She is one student who could state the letter sounds but then would say a word that was not even close when blending the sounds together. She all of a sudden started to blend the words correctly last week! It was an "ah-huh" moment for her! Her confidence is higher now that she can read the words, and she is much more willing to try new words now that she has experienced success.

  1. I *love* those "AHA!" moments! It must be especially rewarding when it's coming with such an essential life skill (like reading).
