Learning.


Presley is learning to READ! This is the very same book my mom used to teach my little brother how to read, and so far it has been a good start. It uses Phonics rather than word recognition, which I feel will be a better foundation for actually learning to read/knowing the theory vs. only recognizing words.

We start each day with a 20 minute lesson--we do it in our pjs in bed, before anyone else is up (no distractions). We are taking it slow and easy but I think Presley is having fun.

Can I peek at this sometime to see if it is something Caden would like? He is so eager to learn to read and I have no idea where to start.

Good idea, you're a great mom.
