Reading Program Update 3.

My DD is continuing to progress in reading.  During the past week I was going through our reading materials to figure out the action plan with her reading program.

So I decided to use at the moment:

1.Little Reader Lessons and  LR Books

 ( I am showing it to a Baby A, and DD  most of the time wants to watch it too)

2. Preschool Prep Readers level 1

3."I see Sam " readers and flashcards.

4. Reading Bear.

5. Signing Time1 DVDs

6. Lot of books/ easy readers/ that I borrowed from the library.

7. Your Child Can Read DVDs

8. Signing Time 1 DVDs and home made flashcards for them.

Now a little more in depth about the books that we will be using.

We have been reading  Preschool Prep Books  level 1 last week and DD loves them, we will keep rereading them until DD will get bored with them. 

We are also using "I see Sam " readers and flashcards. I am kind of on the fence about these readers. At the moment we are on the books from set 1. I retired the first 3 books from the set already. The story plot in these books a little "Tom and Jerry" type ( pushing, getting mad, spilling paint so far....) It may be appealing to older kids. So far I was able to explain to DD what is going on on the picture, but I will be reviewing each of them before showing it to her.

We also using LR books. Both  my DD and  I love these books very much. I am very happy that we got them, as I see them as an excellent tool to build up her reading vocabulary. I am glad that I started to teach DD using whole word approach. Her speed in reading (even though she have been officially reading only for 2 weeks) is remarkable. And I totally credit it to the whole word approach, since instead of wasting time on decoding a word she knows it right away.

I also borrowed about 25 of books/ easy readers/  from the library. DD likes to look through them and she likes to be read to. At the moment she needs to build up her concentration and reading confidence. Even if the book is at her reading level, she still prefers first to read it together and look at the pictures, talk about what is happening there and only then she would be concentrated enough to read the book by herself.

I retired Preschool Prep "Meet the Sight Words  3 DVD"  and  "Meet the Phonics  3 DVD" , and kept  flashcards only for reviewing .

Starting today I will be adding Signing time to our reading program. I made paper flashcards for all 25 DVDs using Little Reader program, long time ago and I want DD to review them, plus we will be actively teaching Sign Language to a Baby A. This will be an addition to his reading program consisting of TW and LR Lessons.
