There has been end of level testing at school and as I mentioned, the goal for 3rd grade in our district is oral reading of 110 words. The other day, she was tested again and reached 108 words per minute!!!
We are so excited for her. Kelsey has shown strength of character and self-control that is admirable and hardly seen even in adults.
She seems to be wanting to read more, but only the books she wants to read! She won't even open just any book just to read (like my other children, who even read instruction manuals :)), but if she has a book that interests her, she loves to read it - at her own pace, but at least she's reading!
She still loves to get Books on CD from the library and listens to stories as she goes to sleep at night.
Will get her end of level results as the school year comes to a close. Excited for her. She has LOVED multiplication! Initially we were concerned about it as apparently it's harder for dyslexic children to know them and understand, but she was taught by her amazing 3rd grade teacher in songs and she knows them and is self-confident in this area.
