Encouraging to know as we are working on sight word flashcards at our house too. I love your strategy.

We started off with the letters...they each have something after them when you click on them. He can't control the mouse, but he points or tells me where to go. There are so many other good activities. One favorite is in the section: I'm Reading, click on "fiction & nonfiction" and then click on "puzzles."<br />There's probably a really good chance you already know about this site, but I just wanted to post this just in case. :) Love it!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535881273481381348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100127.post-56993929560737151352010-07-29T17:12:31.880-05:002010-07-29T17:12:31.880-05:00Very cute picture!

I'm guessing you already know the site, but just in case... starfall.com is wonderful! Our older boys can both read, yes, not like young adults their age, but they can read. Kyle's learning was heavy in memorization of words (Edmark), and Matt had a combination of phonics and memorization. Every time I see a commercial for that program that teaches "babies" to read (four our 4 year old), I'm so tempted to look into it, but I'm guessing it's pricey. Have you looked up Dolch words? I think many schools use these lists. Here's a site that I was just checking out http://www.kidzone.ws/dolch/kindergarten.htm<br />Good luck!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535881273481381348noreply@blogger.com
