Holy Woah!

I do my planning on Wednesday afternoons.  I sit down, think on what we got through the prior week, and how that ought to translate to the coming week.  Last week, we made it through Lesson 1 of Hooked on Phonics, and three math lessons.  This week, I set us up to do another HoP lesson, and four math lessons.  No worries.

Math is progressing as expected - still at double time according to the general timetable - but since I'm still trying to find his limits, as opposed to just teaching him mew ways of doing things he already knows, I'm okay with that.  I knew he was good at most of the math before we started, so plowing through it is nothing too new.

Reading, on the other hand...  I have no idea how to plan at this point.  He finished lesson 2 yesterday, and blew through the first third of lesson 3 today.  At the rate he's going, he'll finish lesson 3 this week, and lesson 4, possibly 5, next week.  This means he will be done with the first half of the level in about two months.  Each level is assigned a graded year.  He is likely to finish a half school year of reading education this summer.  I'm reeling.  The next question, of course, becomes "how do I plan for next week?!?"  ^_^  I think I'm just going to try to keep up, and see where he goes.  He doesn't know he's doing work intended for much older children, and I haven't any intention of telling him, so he just goes ahead and does his work at his own pace... and we'll see how high he flies.
