Learning To Read

I know it's been a while since I created a post but it doesn't mean I haven't been hard at work (double negative, I know). I have three young children and its been difficult for me to keep up with the blog. I'm writing today to share a program that has taught my 5 yr old to read and my 4 yr old is right behind her, Explode The Code The link I have provided offers the lowest price I could find. Once your child can identify all the letters of the alphabet and its letter sounds they will be ready for Get Ready for The Code

 

I like to use Kumon books to help reinforce what they've learned. Kumon offers many books covering many topics and age groups. 

Once your child is ready for Explode The Code you can help reinforce it by using Explode the Code Online. I like that I can have one child on the computer while I sit with the other.  

*If your child is not ready for Get Ready for The Code please start with Handwriting Without Tears. All of my children were ready by the age of 3 to start Handwriting Without Tears (my post). 

*Before the age of 3 around 2 1/2 start them with fun writing programs. I found Mr. Pencil at a Toys R Us Outlet shop for $6
