"You're not going to move on anyways, you'll just do it when
he's ready and teach him what he needs to know when he is there. He
won't be ready to learn that letters have sounds and have you trying
to teach him how to dissect a fascinating piece of literature (most
likely dissecting until it has been so beat into the ground that those
who can read it will wish they couldn't anyways)."
There is no "moving on" in unschooling...just the flow of living and
learning. I don't "teach" my children, I simply help them get what
they need/want. I have one child that never did learn the letters
sounds. He has now figured out the idea of letter sounds, but he
learned to read by recognizing whole words.
Unschooling is about connections. Rich connections that happen as a
person explores doing exactly what they love. Through those
connections they piece together a model of their world, of the universe.

I truly appreciate your words as a reminder to me. I seek to go with the flow of living and learning and that includes my children having the same freedom. I am finding on my personal spiritual journey that it is not going with the flow that causes us to have the bumps and falls that we experience. I hope that my children have less backtracking to do than I have and I feel that unschooling is the way to do it.
Thanks again.
Namaste
