READING: The Easiest Subject

As per title, reading is by far the easiest subject for Oliver at the moment.  On Mondays O choses new book from his phonics set, which is always a highlight for him. On the first day of the week he doesn't have to do his cards with tricky words, which he finds boring, so that's another bonus for him.

I think I'm just starting to notice that he is starting to understand what he reads, too, which is fantastic.

The first day of the week used to be quite a challenge, but now it's the easiest. It's a great feeling.

In terms of cards, we have accumulated quote a few of those.  Sometimes O celebrates by tearing the ones 'done with' but half the time we keep them for an occasional revision, as they have proved to be a very very good, old-fashioned aid to reading the chaotic English. I found that 10 2-sided cards per session is the number that works the best for us.
