Jacob's Writing Sample







In his Writing and Grammar book they wanted him to plan out and write a story. He decided to write a story about Laser Tag.

Jacob reading McGuffey Reader - Primer Lesson 9

Hey Angie!

Here are Jacob and Caleb's Reading and Writing samples. I could do it in blog form better than email, so here is goes. I'll start with Jacob. Jacob is 7 years old, will turn 8 in August. He just started reading within the last six months. He can read all the BOB books in set 1. He can read most Bright and Early readers with some help. He can read the McGuffey Primer lessons up to about lesson 12. The sample I am providing to you is him reading lesson 10 in the McGuffey Reader. He definately can read fluently enough to understand what he is reading. He can answer question about what he is reading or has been read to.
