Posted by Dusty in NC We took off two weeks and one day. Then we only did two days of Audiblox last week but... I think I learned something new. When you do Audiblox 5 days a week often progress is incremental. I wondered how much ground would be lost during our break. I was most surprised by Greylan's reading of the yellow word cards. He was about 98% fluent with them before our break. I expected some lost ground. The first day back after our break he read the yellow cards the best he has ever read them! I felt that this showed that these words are now in long-term memory. He doesn't have to figure them out; he reads them. He struggled quite a bit with the white cards. He reads them very similarly to how he read the yellow words cards in the beginning. So, I expect to see the same progress with the white word cards eventually. This is very encouraging to me. Greylan has always been a guesser. He will guess 20 words when trying to read 1. Of course, he will get the word "right." One of his guesses will be correct but this is not reading. He is now reading these words. This encourages me to get "back on track" in the New Year. I could go on and on but just let me say that I have seen more progress with 65 hours of Audiblox than I saw in 3 years of twice weekly tutoring sessions with Greylan. The sessions were 1 1/2 hours each for a total of 3 hours per week. I'm looking forward to what the rest of this school year will hold.

Although I had not planned to take a lot of time off during December, we took more time off than I had planned! Anyone else in that same boat?
