Yes you're right! This boy was me 50 years or so ago! I had the same problem with reading. Only there were no tutorers around back then!

I love ALL of them, but this particular boy warms and softens my heart so powerfully like no other!!

I want to continue working with him and help him read better. He really looks up to me as his role model! We've both taken a great liking to each other. It's a wonderful thing!

So naturally, I'm treating him very special over the others - like gold! I probably should be treating all the kids equally like that, but I just can't help it. This boy has gotten so much closer to me than the other kids have!

And I strongly feel that it's because he's the only boy and that he has no male siblings to play with or talk to at home. Only his two sisters, his mom and his dad.

So when he began having his reading sessions with me, he's been and continues feeling very comfortable with me and he's gotten very friendly with me as well.

I just can't stop talking and thinking about him and I'm so grateful that he likes me a lot!
