Yesterday my DS915) and DH went to get some groceries at BJ's after their haircuts. While there my son went to the book department and picked out " The 5th Wave" and DH reported read some in the car on the ride home....

This is HUGE! I began homeschooling my son 5 years ago when it became apparent that he lacked phonetic awareness and the school was not equipped to change that, just pushing him along, making crazy statments that due to his intelligence he would be fine. We worked hard that first year on a remedial program called "Back on the Right Track" and it was a briliant experience that although tough, fixed the issue completely. He now reads to grade level and beyond. The issue is he only reads what I assign him. This was the first time he picked out a book on his own to read just for the fun of it... We are a family of readers, and both DH and I can't look at each other without tearing up. I must say that never planning on being a homeschooling mom, that this is my finest choice as a mother of 4 with 29years of experience!

Thanks for letting me share my joy, it was too big to contain, lol
