Veronica "got it" and is able to read suddenly! It's so fun and amazing seeing her read a book! I'm amazed and almost in tears hearing her sound out the words she doesn't know, and remember a bunch of sight words. So cool!
Jackson is not far behind. He has the skills, he just hasn't gotten completely motivated yet enough to make that huge leap to loving to read. He's great at sounding out words, though.
Today I volunteered in Jackson's class at his Valentine's/100th day of school party. Both Jackson and Veronica's teachers thought it would be fine and lovely for Veronica to attend Jackson's class party for a bit. Veronica came in with me while the class was sitting in meeting (circle time). There was a spot on the floor next to Jackson so I told her to go ahead and join in and sit by him. The teacher told the kids we had a special visitor, and asked Jackson to introduce her. Jackson said her name was Veronica, and when she got near him in the meeting space, he got up and hugged her! It was really sweet! They really do get along great and care a lot for each other. :-)
