Thanks Dottie and Trinity for so much useful information.
Our son just started the typing program about a little more than a week ago and is typing at about 10 wpm. Keep in mind this is about 10 times faster than he can write. (He is a perfectionist, too.) He really enjoys the program and I suspect we will see that number increase very quickly.
The answer to the question of whether or not we will put him in second grade without special accomodations, is YES!(If our lobbying efforts are successful) We feel so strongly that is where he belongs and learning as much as we have so far, we are driven to be his most vocal advocate.
I am gathering all my thoughts for our big school meeting on Friday. Any final words of wisdom?
I will keep you posted on how it goes.
