🏃Huge strides towards reading independence. An inspiring breakthrough.
As the year draws to a close and the season of giving and receiving is upon us, I wanted to share an inspiring update from my clients who traveled all the way from Fiji to work with me earlier this year. When I first met Louis, he was struggling to read a sentence without tripping over his words multiple times. To receive this feedback is a gift indeed!
I’m just writing in once more to let you know that last week, Louis was able to read independently a page in an age appropriate non-fiction book.
Instead of me sitting with him and constantly watching what he is reading, it is becoming possible for me to sit next to him, do something else and help him occasionally when he stumbles.
We have also begun one of our long-time goals: playing a game that requires reading a lot of text (Magic the Gathering) with cards that he doesn’t already know by heart.
So, I would say it’s a mini break-through for us.
He’s not yet entirely independent, especially not for fiction books but definitely one step closer.
Massive congratulations to Louis and his dad for their consistent effort with follow-up work, leading to such outstanding results since March 2024! 👏👏👏
