Next lesson: How to make a "drop"
Seven is doing a special reading program to catch him up to grade level. I won't defend his IQ because it's not a matter of ability it's the fact that the school sees acting your age as remedial. But I'll move on.
One assignment is to make up a sentence based on a story he has read. Write the sentence out and then cut all of the words apart. He is to remember the sentence and recreate it by gluing all of the words in the right order on to construction paper. Very good mental acrobatics indeed. But where did they get this idea? When 7 is done it looks more like "My first Ransom Note" The Wife thought it wouldn't be cool to recreate the sentence with words cut from a magazine along with pictures of smiling faces with the eyes cut out.
