Andrew is now starting to learn addition in his Saxon math. We are currently on lesson 21 and have been counting and adding apple seeds today. He also continues to work on ordinal names such as first, second, third, last, etc.

We are almost through his reading class at the Homeschool building. I think he has a better grip on the letter sounds and how to sound things out, his biggest problem is concentration. Its easy to become frustrated with him when he's reading because I KNOW he knows what the letter sounds are, but he is in a rush and says the sounds wrong. So we keep working.

He started the phonics program Explode the Code today. I like how it goes through all the letters in a systematic way. I may also get Handwriting Without Tears because that is definitely an area he needs practice in!
