I am so glad to hear this! We have found that our boys have made terrific strides in applying the story elements, discussing the plots, comprehending what was read, and analyzing literature along with weighing the book's content against the Bible and its standards. Best of all our kiddos are learning to read with discernment through DITHR!
I agree that slower, more thoughtful reading definitely has its place of importance. Yet, blessedly DITHR does not thwart that love of devouring books either, as all of our boys (so far) are avid readers. We pray DITHR may continue to bless your family as you use it this year!
Thanks for sharing!
