[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 79512, member: 84"] easy child and Travis caught on to reading quickly and read way above their grade levels right from the start. Yep, I was proud. Nichole struggled. Reading just didn't click for her. She couldn't get it no matter how hard she tried. Even in the special reading class she struggled, she cried, she hated it. Even once she finally figured out that those darn letters put together actually made words, she struggled. This went on until the first of the Harry Potter books came out. mother in law bought her one. Just special for her. This big thick book. Now we know it was all the rage, all the kids were carrying on about it. easy child and Travis finished it in about a day. Then a miracle happened. I saw Nichole with the book. When she had trouble, she asked someone to help her. She kept right on reading. We kept right on helping, not daring to say a thing for fear we'd do something to jinx it. She was soooo proud of herself when she finished. I'll never forget how it made me feel to see her triumph. I KNEW how much she worked and how hard it was for her. It took her a couple of weeks, but she did it. You watched difficult child meet a reall tough challenge head on. You know the work he's put in. I don't doubt your Mommy heart is just busting with pride. I know mine is and I'm just a board auntie. [img]:smile:[/img] Way to go difficult child!!!!
