Since reading is such an important part of school, I thought I would take a little time to touch on the amazing progress the girls have made in this area. I just gave them a reading assessment and both are performing well above grade level.
Date Words Per Minute:
Annabelle: July 2011 27
Dec 2011 54
Aliah: July 2010 39
July 2011 119
Dec 2011 173
Both girls have excellent accuracy (95% and 99%, respectively) and good comprehension of what they are reading. Annabelle is reading about a grade level above 1st grade and Aliah is reading several grade levels above 3rd grade. Perhaps it's all of the practice she gets with chapter book a day.
I might note, that Aliah was a "late bloomer" with reading, but when she took off there was no stopping for her. I am glad that homeschooling accommodated this learning style and she wasn't labeled as a poor or slow reader. It just took a little time and patience.
