Well, Caitlyn has decided that she's tired of being the only person in the house who doesn't know how to read, so she asked me to teach her. Insisted, actually.
She's known her letter names and sounds for a long time, but since she isn't beginning Kindergarten until next year, I was fine leaving it at that. However, since she asked I began teaching her some sight words and how to blend sounds.
One month later and she has read through two sets of BOB books, and tested at an end of Kindergarten level (DRA 4 to my teacher-peeps). She's already passed all of my students.
Intrinsic motivation is an amazing and powerful thing.
