His Brother's Teacher

Wesley has taken on a new project. He has decided that Ryan needs to learn how to read before starting preschool in the fall and, of course, he feels that he is Ryan's perfect teacher. So far they have worked on word recognition on the Starfall website and Wesley has created a chart of his word wall words from school for Ryan to practice with.

It sounds really sweet doesn't it? Unfortunately, Wesley is not the most patient of teachers and believes that just because Ryan read some of the words, he should be able to read all of them. It's almost like Wesley believes a magic reading switch has been thrown and suddenly Ryan can read everything. If only it worked that way.

I really applaud Wesley's effort and desire to teach his brother how to read - I just hope they both survive it!
