Yesterday at school, I got a fabulous update from her Kindergarten teacher. Taylee is ready to start the Reading For All Learners Program! This means that during testing she was able to recognize all her upper and lower case letters, identify the sounds they make, and successfully combine sounds to read words. She will now bring home simple books from school designed for beginning readers, to practice reading. She has reached this milestone on track with her classmates, even ahead of some! This is significant to us because just a few short months ago we were heavily debating whether or not to send her to Kindergarten this year or hold her back until next year. Her Preschool teacher felt that she should wait another year before attending. Needless to say, I have been following her progress closely. We are just thrilled to see her meeting these educational milestones on time! Way to go Taylee!
In other news, we will be meeting with the Elementary school Speech Therapist on Friday for the results of the speech evaluation they performed last month. This is the first speech therapy she has received since she was 18 months. I am excited to hear what they have to say! Here's hoping that there is no Palate Revision in her future....
