More reading

I tried a new reader with Elena and was pleased to note the improvement she's made since the last time I did a simple reader with her. She was naturally blending the sounds as she was sounding them out rather than doing them separately and was putting the words together much more quickly. She also seemed to be able to read some words on sight after seeing them a few times, which sped the process up a good bit. Also, we got a tip from another homeschooling mom toward Veritas press and some graded readers that have more interesting stories than many of the ones we've been looking at.
