Corwin's Progress

Corwin is starting to do much better at reading. Mom has been making him read a book to Mom at night before Mom reads one to him. I’m trying to encourage him by pointing out that he could play his games without having to wait for Dad to help if he could read the menus. Corwin doesn’t find this very encouraging. What he seems to like better are numbers. He frequently asks me addition questions (such as “what is 90 plus 90?”), much more so than he asks about words or letters. He does try to read acronymns, which are still a difficult concept for him. I’m trying to decide whether it’s a good idea to work on teaching him how to use the remote control. He knows how to pause and play but not change channels. This means that a parent has to come in when Mom has left it on the Home and Gardening channel but on the other hand he can’t go cruising over to inappropriate channels. Not teaching is just a stop gap measure but every extra week is a bonus.
