Cader Brains

Just a little post to brag about my little Cader brains. :)

First of all, this kid has always been so bright and on top of things. We have always made mention of his smarts, and his freaky-deaky memory and attention to detail. Needless to say, he is LOVING school. In fact, while helping him with homework one night this week, he sighed and said, "I love learning." He must get that from Jon. ;)

Cade had his Idaho Reading Indicator test this week (a state-mandated test to assess reading readiness).

They time him for one minute in two areas:
Letter naming fluency
Letter sound fluency

If he scores an 11, he is at grade level. 3-10 is near grade level, and 0-2 is below grade level.

He scored a 29 in letter naming (29 letters in 1 minute), and a 27 in letter sounds (27 sounds identified in one minute). Well over double what is considered "grade level."

'nuff said. :)
