lizabird, My ds is also 7 (well, will be in one month!), obsessed with Start Wars and Legos, and loves to get mail - they might be a good match!  He can read alright, but we've had issues with letter writing before.  He...

Ds is almost 7.  He is doing well in his reading and I'm not worried about anything, but I want to make sure I'm not skipping anything with him.  We went through all 100 lessons of the Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy...
