John is Writing

John is still a fairly reluctant reader, but he shows a lot of interest in books. Jeremy has read through the first 3 Harry Potter books to him at bedtime, and he will lay still for an hour or more to listen. (Yes, really, this is John I am talking about.) I have seen great progress in his reading and decoding skills, as well as his reading confidence, which is fun. Also fun to see is how his writing ideas are developing. He brought this planning paper home a few weeks ago.

I will translate, since the scan doesn't pick up the pencil completely, and his spelling is still a bit creative.
