Annual Assessment

Well, I did it! Or my son did I guess. We went for the annual evaluation to see if I did a good job at schooling my child for the year. He has an excellent reading level, testing 3 whole grades above average. I love the teacher that does my assessments, because my son left with such a good self-esteem. I did learn that he is not a phonetic speller. The teacher said that some people just aren't. I really don't understand. I have been teaching phonics since before I began homeschooling. This is something I will certainly be researching. It just doesn't seem right. In any case, we did a good job this year, and are greatly inspired for another year of homeschooling.
