I need to skip over the last month of intervention and cut to the chase with the progress K.C. has made. I'm way too excited to hold back!

What have we done to raise his level of reading over one whole grade level? (While increasing Reading Fluency almost 60%)

1. K.C. has worked 18 total hours (One hour at a time) with me as his Instructor in the morning hours. 
2. He has also worked with me-(as his mother) for 30 minutes to an hour in the evening. (By this I mean he has to do homework from me as the instructor :)
3. He's diligent, He never gives up. I'm simply amazed at his desire to learn to read. 
4. When we're done with his homework he wants to read more. It's like the more he reads...the more he wants to read.!
