Welcome venture and Laura6179 !!!
This is a great board. And you are contributing already. I am really enjoying this particular thread.
sounds like my ds 5.5 as well! holding back on reading, overwhelmed by too many words on a page. A good reminder that these kids are asynchronous and puts my denial in contxt.
on the math front for example, he has a clear grasp on multiplication, but he doesn't know the whole times table yet. Usually brings it up when he is ready. Now isn't multiplication usually taught in 2nd/3rd grade?
Anyway, I agree with the previous suggestion to incorporate the math, spelling, writing reading etc. into what his favorite activities are.
Cheers!
