Learning to read

Jordan has been learning to read for the last coupon months. We started a week or so after Jackson started school. We've been using "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" and it's been working really well. He knew all the letters and the sounds they make before we started and I think that has helped him a lot. He has a hard time focusing sometimes though. Whenever he gets to a word he thinks he doesn't know he starts looking at other things. Jackson's also good at distracting him by his talking and doing art projects. Jordan also likes to count the question marks, periods and words that are repeated. He does better reading the stories that are at the end of each lesson than he does with reading the other words that aren't in the story. My sister wanted me to put up a video of him reading so here it is (this was one of his better, well-focused reading lessons. usually it takes much longer to get through the story):
