J's progress (down syndrome)

J is making unbelievable progress in reading. I have decided to start him on lesson one of the "ready to read" program. His hand writing is all but intelligible but he can read the first pages and he can spell the words. I will take one lesson at a time and then stop if he gets stuck, go back and review for awhile. We are still working on the "year one" stuff but he seems ready for more, so I will keep him challenged.
He hasn't gotten it down 100%, but he seems to understand the concept of sitting and standing clowns. He can also read most of the blends (bumper cars ). Since he can do all of that, I decided that he should have a binder and start on the lessons.
I feel so privileged to be teaching him.
