Madison Reads 2 books

Here are 2 videos of Madison taken this evening of her reading 2 short books. For her this is a really really big deal. I am so proud of her. She is also learning to read with the help of a awesome program called Headsprout. I used this program when I was teaching in the New Caney school system and tutoring kids unable to read. I was able to watch a 2nd grade NON-English speaking child go from NON-English reading to Reading English in about 6 months. Pretty Awesome! Madison started this program on Sunday and is on Lesson 7 now. She LOVES the program. Here are the videos:

Here she is: Madison Shaw Reading
