Letter S

Carly is off to Kindergarten so now it's just Sam and I at home. He is three so I figure now is the perfect time to start with his letters. I am not going to start with the letter A. I figure I'll start first with the letters of his name and then go from there. So, first letter is S.

Carly really knows the ABC's well and all of the sounds...so I think I may move on from doing a letter per week and start doing sounds. She is so eager to read and since she already knows the sounds of all the letters I am going to skip the rest of the alphabet for her and start with vowel sounds. I will be using Explode the Code workbooks to help with this.


As far as Sam goes I will continue to do a shape and color per week, as well as counting and reviewing all the letters so he can become familiar with them.
