By Leave a Comment

Big Red turned eight this Spring so I knew that it was time to up his academics a little bit this Fall. He is a very inquisitive child who is very good at mental math. He can read on his own quite well even though he was never given formal phonics or reading lessons. I share how I taught him to read in another post for those whom might be interested.
