Reading!

Ewan and I have been spending about 2 hours each morning doing home schooling.  We started a few weeks ago in an effort to see if home schooling is something that might be a good fit for our family.  We are sort of doing a trial run, for myself and for Ewan.  This helps me to have discipline, routine and follow through, and for Ewan it just gives me an idea of how he might do in a home school setting.  So far he seems to be enjoying him self as am I.  We start off our time with a craft time and then do a reading lesson and then a reading time.  Ewan has been really excited most days to do his reading lesson which just makes me feel giddy.  It has been really amazing to see him learning right in front of me, to see his ability to retain information and recall it.  He is doing really well.  So now that you have a little back ground on our reading situation I will now share my exciting news.  Ewan read his first sentence today!!!!!!!!!

See me eat.

That was the sentence that Ewan read this morning!  He did an awesome job sounding out each letter and then putting all of the sounds together.  I am very proud of him, as if it is not obvious!  So that is my big news for today, Ewan is on his way to becoming a reader:)
