Well, he usually resists stopping his play to do work but once he gets started he seems to be interested in learning the material. I have been having him do the work right after lunch since he hasn't become engaged in play yet and that seems to minimize his resistance. Yesterday, he told me he wanted to do his work "right away" after lunch so he could be done sooner.
So far he has been working on handwriting (frustrating for him), two pages of Singapore math 1A (easy for him) and I have him read to me for about 10 minutes. His homework has been to circle and count all the letter a's in a paragraph the teacher sends home. I have him circle and count the letters and then read the paragraph to me. Unfortunately(?), he can also read the directions and he wants to know why he has to read the paragraph when the directions don't say that...
