Second reading book: Goldilocks
These Read it yourself books seem to be just about the right level. The inane guesses without actually looking at the letters in the word are still rather irritating though 😉

Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

Don’t knock it though, Fran seems to have finally worked out how to make “sensible” inane guesses.
Well done Big! Will have to have a look at them when I come over next, see if it might be something Marcus could cope with.
Nice one Big!
Jax – I’m with you on the inane guessing while gazing out of the window, at the ceiling, blank (not even switched on) TV – anywhere but the page in fact! Irritating as hell. Especially when it’s words he read happily the page before!!
Yep, I can empathise having gone through it (and still going through it some days!) with Joseph. Random guessing really irritates me…
