Now Tim has met his reading goal. Again, we have used "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons." He's only on lesson 76 but his reading has become accomplished to the point that he can read the scriptures without help on most of the words.
He struggles to sit still with the small print of regular scriptures so last month Melissa bought a large print Triple and he has excelled with it.
So Friday before Susanna's 2 week appointment, Tim got to choose his own new scriptures. The 8 1/2" x 11" copy he's started using is a bit big for taking to church each week so we went with the middle size - larger than the average set but smaller than the 8 1/2 x 11. Of the black, green, brown and maroon option he had, (David has blue in that size so it's not an option for him) he went for the green.
We also bought him a carrying case that has a shoulder strap to help him with the added weight of the bigger set. And of course, he got some scripture marking crayons. He started at the beginning of the Book of Mormon a few months ago reading 2-3 verses every day so he just picked up from there in the new set and started marking right away.
Now Amirrah is anxious to do reading lessons, too. She can identify and tell the sounds of a few letters but has a ways to go before we fork out for her scriptures.

Hey Guys,
We use this reading book too. Ryan is almost done with it and is reading great. You guys should come down to Provo sometime. We are leaving for Finland again in a few weeks, but we would love to see you.
Sarah
