"Last night he actually requested that I sit and read to him instead of asking to watch TV."

Jumpstart Columbia at University of Missouri Columbia, a parent shares a milestone:

Michael* told me that Mr. John is his favorite part of school this year.

At home, we've noticed him starting to sound out words and identify more letters, too.

Last night he actually requested that I sit and read to him instead of asking to watch TV.

He didn't want to read books anymore a few weeks ago, but I think the Jumpstart time is renewing his interest.
