I like that too "special education needs". Why "special ed" only refers to the low end of the spectrum that is not fair.
My DS6 home w/strep for 2 days is about to complete a 250 page phonics book, a new one he just recently got.
I askd him.. why does he feel to need to finish the book so fast? he said.. because it is too easy and he is only learning a tiny bit.
