Einar is reading!

Einar had his reading epiphany yesterday. Now he can read, he just has to learn all the words first. Until then it is slow going as he has to sound out each word.

This morning he showed off in school as we dropped him off. The first pages of the book went blazingly fast, probably more due to memorization than to studying speed reading. After that is was more like one word at the time, but if he was asked about stuff he hadn't worked on before, he could still do it.

The deal is that when he can read, he gets a computer. It's getting very close. Santa will have to start worrying.
