First of all, I have finished my first "real" project, a prognostication tool that compares multiple prognostic models in advanced cancer patients. I have it hosted on pythonanywhere.com which has been great, and I actually bought a real domain name for it as well.
The website is here, not that anybody is reading this blog or really going to find it through here:
I learned quite a bit more about how setting up a site works, more html, a lot more css, a fair bit of easy flask and python (I haven't yet really taken advantage of the power of flask to make a dynamic site or use databases). In reality, this site is just a calculator.
With respect to reading, JT has been making great strides. I think it has helped that I have consciously backed off on pushing him to read and will just read to him. Having books that he likes to read over and over again help a lot too. Some books he has recently read by himself:
The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree (he is really on a Berenstain Bears kick)
He still has a tendency to try and guess a word based on the first couple of letters and the context rather than sound things out. He has quite a sight word registry as well which is mostly what he uses, but he is also more open to sounding out words and does a pretty good job of it.
We've also been working on some new games that I thought I'd share.
"Word Builders"
-We are trucks who go to the pile of letters and bring them to the boss, who asks for a word to be made. The boss usually asks for limiting factors like "three letters" or "has the letter H in it". Then he sounds out the word
