Creeping close to fluency!

I haven't been able to post lately. I have been caring for my mother who was just released from the hospital.

Although Tessa has been on a bit of an unofficial break from her studies this past week, I'm trying to work in reading. She read Cat Traps by Molly Coxe and Mud Mess by Melinda Melton Crow today. She read them both with near fluency! YEAH!! I was really surprised about Mud Mess. Many of the words, she had never read before. I only had to help her with one-to-two of them. I'm really starting to get excited. I think she's creeping close to fluency!
