...and going...

Sometimes Beacon Reading amazes even me. Cooper is moving right along in his lessons. We have missed a couple due to illness, field trips, etc...but he is keeping up just fine. I try to send home readers that correspond to our lessons. I am finding these stories on readinga-z.com - great site...if you tutor, teach, do anything with reading, have a look! A true plethora or resources!
Back to the point...Cooper is reading those books much more fluently than before, and we are receiving extremely positive feedback from his parents & teacher.

Cooper still has a bit of difficulty on timed reading tests (AR), but this is to be expected...his fluency has improved tremendously, but combining that word recognition improvement with fluency and comprehension simply takes a bit more time...we are just 8 lessons in - so we have about 12 to go...I'll keep you posted!
