our oldest
Good Morning!
I am trying to do some "Home Schooling" with my oldest this summer. He is seven, and has just finished kindergarten. He was born two months prematurely, and was hospitalized for six months - mostly for breathing difficulty. He has hydrocephalus, and strabismus. He does have a shunt, and has had three eye surgeries to help the wandering eye.
The problem I am having right now is getting his visual attention. He doen't look at the subject ( ABC flash cards, books etc.) He has wonderful aduitory memory, can easily memorize and recite long passages, but he won't learn to read if he won't look at the letters and words.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
LAI-S
