Elijah nodded, "It is ok to be frustrated. I'm sure you wish it was easy and you noticed progress. It probably feels like you're getting no where. Don't let it upset you, you are learning its just not noticeable yet. It won't be until you can find yourself recognizing letters and words. When that happens, the rest will be speeding along in comparison." He squeezed him a bit to help the man feel better, though a part of him chided him because he enjoyed holding him too. "Why don't we start with letters then?" He smiled ready to drop the book.
