I am a true believer in phonics because I think it is giving children the keys to reading. Even in my high school sped class, we worked on phonics skills that they may have forgotten or not learned. I'm glad your children are enjoying it! .-= Pat´s last blog ..Back to Port Canaveral =-.

This is a helpful guide.Right timing for my 4y/o girl, she’s acting like she understand what we are reading in the church, and she said by 5, she can read it.

I’ve never heard of that phonics curriculum. It sounds very interesting. I guess it’s too bad I don’t have any more kids to teach how to read!

Am always amused when I persuade anyone to do anything!

Now that I’m a bit farther along, I still like the book, but I’ve learned some thing. First, the twins may not pick it up at the same rate. Currently, one twin is about 20 lessons behind the other. I had to let that go. Also, not having pictures is GREAT. Mine tend to fake their way through real books by guessing and looking at the pictures. Finally, I get discouraged when I look at how many lessons are in front of us, but I can already see that in maybe a few months, one twin will be able to quit the book altogether as he begins to take off reading other things. So don’t feel frustrated when you see the number of lessons.

I love the chanting stage. That was super fun. I used to put mine on the trampoline and have them jump while they chanted.
