Ben's teacher does a weekly newsletter for the parents. A few weeks ago it said to ask your kids the following words to see if they remember from the lesson. I finally got around to it tonight during dinner. Since Ben was across the table I tried it verbally.
"Ben, what word is this, 'a-m'?"
"AM means afternoon time."
"What? Oh, you mean AM means morning and PM means night time."
Not what I was looking for, but okay. Try the next one on the list...
"Tell me what word this is, 'a-t'."
"What do you mean? Like 79 and 89?"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"You said eighty, right?"
"Oh. Yeah. Sort of, 'a-t" sounds like 80. You're right. What about 'd-o-g'?"
"Dog."
"Good. We got one."
I'm sticking with a visual reading test next time.
