Wading Gently Into The Elementary Education Ocean

We received a recommendation for a speech & language therapist for my son. Apparently the docs think he'd do well to learn reading and writing via the Slingerland method. Tomorrow I'm going to try to talk to the therapist and learn more about this approach, its benefits, and so forth. I'm also going to talk to the private schools where we have applications pending, to see if they teach in this method.

It's scary out here in parenthood. I don't mind experimenting with my life, but I am not enjoying the feeling that I am doing so with my kids'. Maybe I need to create a more reassuring frame of reference.
