This year my son really learned to read. You have read about my consternation with the English language, for every rule, there are 27 exceptions. I feel frustrated for him, he spells the way he has been taught to and yet he often hits words that are the exceptions. I learned that the English language don’t make no kinda sense!
On the other hand, he has been reading signs, instructions, video game dialogue (you know, the important stuff!). I have watched his skill increase almost daily. For me, it is like seeing the secrets of the world unfold for him, now that the writing he sees in his everyday life is not seen as hieroglyphics.
