Carl's TAG reader broke a few weeks ago. It was two weeks after the manufacturer's warranty ran out. Well, we contacted Leap Frog and they kindly agreed to honor the warranty and sent Carl a brand new TAG reader! How's that for good customer service?? So, in the meantime, he had been using Gretchen's. She didn't get much time on it, but she was very good about sharing it.
So, once the new one arrived, he has happily been back to playing with his green one. We plugged it into the computer the other night to see his progress and were pleased to see that he is scoring on a 2nd grade level for comprehension and reading skills!! 2nd grade. He will be 7.75 yrs old when he enters 2nd grade. So, basically age 8. He's 4 now. What am I going to do with this child for the next 4 years?
We plugged Gretchen's purple reader in next, since he had been using it so much and hers also reflects many many 1st grade things mastered and the 2nd grade subjects with success scores!!!! So, that's probably a lot of his actions, but some of hers, too.
His other new thing is counting to 100... by 10s. Counting by ones is boring and so, last year. Gretchen is doing that, too. But, she still enjoys counting by ones... she'll go well over 100. She just likes to talk. Counting by ones takes more talking.
