Reading Program Update 1.

On Mondays I will be posting our Reading Program updates.

DD 29 month old:

During the past week we focused on reading, and it payed off big time!

As I mentioned before, DD could sight read couple hundreds of words, but she never cracked the phonics code...

For the past week we were reviewing letter sounds, blends, digraphs and sight words using Preschool Prep Company DVDs and Flashcards.

DD mastered most of them,  she does make a mistake  here and there but in general 98% of time she knows them! We also reviewed Preschool Prep Sight words DVDs and she knows most of them except the ones starting with H and Th, so we will continue working on those.

We also been using Reading Bear program http://www.readingbear.org/  Both my children just love it.

After couple days using Reading Bear  ,DD started  sounding out words. She does not blend them properly yet. And she tends to end every word with "t" automatically and only after said "t" reads the propper sound, ex. b a t,m; c a t,b .

We also have been reading some books together, but no new titles.

I will be looking through Book list thread posted on BrillKids forum:

So... Goals for the next week:

will add them tomorrow.
