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.

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