I am rejoicing so thought I would share it with you. Those of you in education can relate I'm sure! Jared finally clicked with blending today. He did fine when he learned his first blends la le li lo lu. When we added ta te ti to tu he would say t - a - la! I put the blends aside for awhile and consentrated on the letters and their sounds again and yesterday we brought out the blends again and he's getting it. Thankfully I had a preschool book that we never used much out of so I am using it for awhile till he is ready to move forward in his kindergarden book. I was afraid I would have to teach him all summer, maybe we'll get past the initial learning to read and we can just practice this summer. I didn't want to be teaching Jared and Jolene to read at the same time, it would be hard on Jared if Jolene was on the same level as he is.
He also picked up on his math and penmanship recently and is doing great.
Some children's strengths are in different areas and we just have to be patient and let them develop at the pace God gave them!
Life at the Plattner Ranch. From the hum drum to the adventures, to our corny sense of humor, to my ramblings. Welcome to a peak at our world.

Yay, Jared! I remember having a horrible time in kindergarten learning just my ABC's. Grandpa Roth came to Ohio to visit and bribed me with M&M's to learn them. Guess Grandpa knew my love language, because I finally learned them. :)
