'Cause I haven't.
This is from a website called Readingeggs.com. I only plan to utilize it for the extent of the free 14 days trial, but Matthew is PSYCHOPATHICALLY addicted to this website -- even though it is almost psychopathically hard at times. We were able to take a reading test at the beginning to determine what “reading age” he starts at, and even with the test being compromised because Scarlett made noise over a few of the prompts so that we couldn’t hear them - and there was no way to have the question repeated -- he landed at a reading age of five. He breezes through 90% of it, but once in a while he has to read and match twenty sight words to their correct spot in under so many seconds -- I think two minutes or so. It. Is. Though! But prying him away is much tougher! (And I haven’t even shown him any of the rewards he’s racked up on the game yet!) His reading just in the past few days has phenomenally improved. He read Go, Dog. Go! last night like it was nothing. But because I already talked Spencer into letting me buy the membership on Starfall, we’re gonna have to be done with Reading Eggs in eleven days… :-/
Meanwhile, I want to stock up on all of the great print-outs. Matt loves them! And if they all turn out this freaking cute, I love them, too!

Matthew is utterly amazing! I love that boy <3. And Scarlett looks sooooo much like a "Becky" that I shall call her Scarlett Becky:)
I have totally missed the printouts! Where are they?
I'm going to send you an email that will make Matthew very happy!
You are so awesome!! :-D Thank you!
The print outs are right on the main page, under free activities or something like that on one of the tabs at the top. There is a print out for every single lesson -- so tons to choose from! Also, I got the pocket chart from Becker’s Parent/Teacher store. Do you have one nearby? Short of going to the “tool store” with his dad, it’s Matthew absolute favorite place to go. The one by our house even has a Thomas train table and a miniature shopping cart with pretend groceries for kids to entertain themselves with while their parent shops. And the pocket chart is so neat. Scarlett stands at it, and points to each word, babbling, pretending to be like her big brother. <3 We have had so much fun with it.
