Kindergarten No More
I don't talk about my daughter as much as I should. She just graduated kindergarten, yay!
She's still not reading, which in earlier years would not be so much of a big deal. On one hand, I'm super grateful that my daughter gets so many extra services so soon instead of waiting until third grade to see that maybe she needs some help.
On the other hand, it's still not developmentally abnormal for her to not be reading. She recognizes letters and the sounds they make. She just doesn't put them together into words. Someday she'll get that next step, and I have my fingers crossed that she'll someday be a great reader.

(had to come read the Jenny sucks tags so I would know what all that was about)...
ReplyDeleteI just have to tell you.. Rand's daughter Brandee never had any interest in reading for herself until suddenly one autumn. I think she was in third grade? Her discovery of reading was amazing, and she became an avid reader in her pre-teen and teenage years. So, yah, you never know!
