Am I a little excited? YES!
7yo has been able to read consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) ("cat") words for awhile, but she wasn't able to read sentences. Last month I bought some sight word readers which she memorized. The past two weeks she has been reading longer passages in her Rod & Staff "We Learn About God" reader. Again, these are sight word stories, but they are much longer which showed me that she is actually reading not merely reciting memorized passages.
BTW, we are working through the accompanying phonics workbook too. I like this approach of using both types of reading instruction (phonics and sight words). Using sight words means she is able to start reading quickly and phonics instruction helps her to build future reading skills.
Now, if we can get her to count from 11-20 without leaving out numbers.... c:

That is exciting! She doesn't realize the whole new world it's opening up for her. I'm sure your patience will be rewarded on the numbers
We played Sum Swamp yesterday but I don't think she got all the tricks I showed her.
Sounds like fun, good luck!
Congrats to 7yo!!!
Your blog layout is cute.
