This summer we have hat a lot more success with L doing a homeschool regimen. He has sign language, writing, math, piano, and chores. The internet is turned on only from 11-2. Somedays he doesn't get on and that is OK.
In the beginning of the summer he was doing handwritting and language arts worksheets. We switched to having him wirte 5 sentences about a chosen topic and that has been great. He's learning how to write little paragraphs and has developed a stronger ability to create a narrative. Sometimes he will dictate the sentences to me and I'll write the sentences for him to trace. That produces his best work. But even on his own he's able to crank out 5 sentences. I'm really proud of the growth this summer and of not loosing ground.
He has several new friends too. Some are boys he has known for a while but we are now socializing with more. It's going well.
