Learning to Read and Write

Tuesday, January 03, 2012 - 13:32 - www.sdyouth.org
Recently,  Troy* joined Club K (our kindergarten program). On his first day at the club, Dawn asked him to spell his last name so she could check him in (he hadn’t received his card yet). He was sad and  embarrassed to tell Dawn that he didn’t know how he to spell his last name.  Dawn was surprised that he couldn’t spell his name so close to the end of the school year, but she didn’t let that show. Instead, she told Troy that she would teach him how to spell his name. Over the course of a couple of weeks, Dawn worked with him on writing and spelling his name. When he could finally do it all by himself, he was so excited and proud.
