Over the summer, the girls read a lot of books. Karis can read higher level books and I am always impressed with some of the words she can read. At her beginning of the year evaluation, she tested above average. We are so proud of her!
As for Makena, it was a little rough over the summer. She got easily frustrated and struggled to remember her sight words. We realized she had a lot to learn about hard work. Well, fast forward to a couple months into Kindergarten and things are a lot different for her.
When Makena entered Kindergarten, she was tested at level A (the lowest level). When her teacher tested her again at seven weeks, she moved up past level 1 and 2 and was scored at level 3! The goal for Kindergarteners is to be at Level 1.
She loves to read, especially now that she has a lot of the basic words under her belt. She is always reading to Kyle or to her imaginary classroom in her bedroom. She'll tackle harder books and not get easily frustrated. She will even let Karis help her read books and Karis loves doing that.
We're hoping Kyle becomes a good reader just like big sisters. Until then, the only one who will listen to his reading is the dog.
