I received one from you on the 24th smallholder is that the one?

I have partially solved the problem with his books- poor child is in tugof war with parents. Mum keeps buying him books which are too hard because that's what child wants but Dad buys him easier ones. Current solution is that the child and I choose his independent book; he has a harderbook for Dad to read with him and Mum is buying audiobooks for child's mp3 player! The parents do not communicate at all. Have reassessed Read Write Inc progress and he has got all set 1 and 2 sounds and som of set3 which is progress as he had none 6 months ago.

Thanks for your help

Just shows you important punctuation is - and how the lack of it can mislead!

Once upon a time bscaca and me were fighting it out to be about 10th on the number of posts board. Maybe I should have followed your example bscaca!!

Wow - fancy it being a lion YOU took a pic of - how wonderful!
