Fun FREE Phonics Website

Did I mention FREE?  You can check it out for yourself here.

We are LOVING this!

We got our Happy Phonics set in the mail from the nice folks over at Love to Learn and what a hit! My Ashlyn (3 1/2) couldn't wait to get started. I wasn't even halfway done cutting out the first game (muffin match) before she was begging to play. I can see why this program works. I feel like I must mention that it is worth every penny of the $49.99 price tag - the games are printed on very high quality cardstock and the instructions are clear as a bell. If you have a young one at your house that is ready to learn to read, give Happy Phonics a look.

My 3 1/2 year old wants to learn to Read?

It's true.....Ashlyn has asked to learn to read and is displaying all of the signs my older two kiddos displayed (just a little sooner). She "reads" stories and makes up words to the pictures or if we've read the book a lot, she tells it from memory. She can write her name well, and writes several other letters legibly. I know she is young, but I think I found something that is very gentle - a go at your own pace - kind of program. It is called The Reading Lesson . The pictures are very cute, which Ashlyn loves, and you can try the first couple of lessons for free, which I love. They also have some other free goodies to help you along. I'll let you all know how it goes.
