When I first looked at this program published from Institute for Excellence in Writing, I thought, "Wow. That seems to be a really fast paced program. There is no way these young ones can be grasping all this info thrown at them." Boy, was I wrong! Not only is he getting it but he is excelling at it! He grins from ear to ear and is so proud of himself (mommy and daddy are too!)
This program begins with poetry and mastering the alphebetic sounds (the first 2 weeks). It incorporates file folder games, which by the way, my son absolutely adores. The games are simple enough that once I have shown it to him, he is able to pretty much do them on his own. But it's way more fun with mommy... or sister.... or brother for that matter! It also has a writing component although I have tweaked this somewhat since he is learning cursive first.
The fact is that he is sounding out words, recognizing letters and sounds and growing and is enjoying what he is learning. Isn't that what it's all about?
