I almost started crying today while Isabelle was reading to me. A year ago my crying would have been a sign of fustration and disappointment that I hadn't taught her better and/or she wasn't reading better.
Today, as she was reading, all of a sudden she slipped into the most smoothest, fluent reading (at a higher reading level than normal) for an entire page!! She was just reading smoothly, with intonation and a steady speed. I hugged her and whispered to her that she was reading wonderfully. I'm seeing her confidence grow. She is still bringing the book to me every night. I'm no longer scared about her future. I now know that she just needs time and constant reinforcement as well as consistancy on my part.
