I have some Grandma bragging material! Today Zane had part of an evaluation for a literacy playgroup at the university. They are doing a study of the playgroup, so he has to be evaluated before and after to see if there are changes after participating in this group. So far, Zane is testing above age level in literacy tests. Go Zane! I am not sure how much above age level (although I know he got stuck on some of the 1st grade stuff, but it involved making auditory discriminations, so I was not suprised he was struggling with it since he has a hard time with auditory input anyway, at least compared to visual). After all the formal letters and evaluations that talk about delays, I can not tell you how good it is to hear “advanced” in reference to a testable skill. Very cool. I guess all those years of following him around reading before he would sit with me are starting to pay off.
*doing a happy dance*
WOOT!!!! So happy to hear this!
Go Zane!!
Was there any doubt? LOL!
Yay, Zane!!
….and this gramma has used the new material already!
You’ve gotta love it that he follows his mommy and daddy’s love of reading!
You go, my precious boy!
