Progress Isn't Just Possible...


With consistency and explicit practice, it's waiting for you at Next Step this summer! 

 

Last winter mom came to me with a goal: 

*To boost her child's confidence 

*To have her child able to write the alphabet 

*To mitigate frustration and embarrassment 

 

A few months later - the progress above - speaks for itself! 

 

In my application form I always ask the question, “what would success look like in 3 months?” 

 

And in this case, the answer was, “feeling more confident in his letters and hand writing. He would be able to say and write the entire alphabet (or be working towards this), and be able to recognize letters out of context.”

 

Looking at the evidence above, I'd say: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 

 

And it didn't have to be hard! 

It got to be fun! 

 

Letter by letter, sound by sound, one at a time we made progress. 

Week by week, lesson by lesson, the skills and confidence grew together! 

 

The smile on his face, more than told the story - confidence had been discovered!

 

…And then - we integrate the foundational letter knowledge into a proud writing project! 


It's the best job ever! 

The tangible and intangible results of hard work and consistency. 

 

What. A. Joy!
