So far in my homeschooling journey, I have successfully taught 3 children to read. I realize that compared to most "teachers" that this not a very high number considering they usually teach 20 or so kids to read at one time, but as a mom I feel a little proud of this accomplishment. I am now teaching my 4th child to read. She is doing fairly well and is enjoying Catholic Heritage Curricula's "Little Stories for Little Folks" so much. She really feels as if she has accomplished something when she has successfully completed one of her "little pink books" as we call them around here! She loves reading about Nan, Ann, Tom and Pat and their adventures, and sometimes, misadventures!
I don't think I will ever switch to another phonics program to teach any of the rest of my children to read. "Little Stories for Little Folks" is just a perfect fit for our homeschool and for my children.
Hi Angie, isn't it exciting when your children start to read? It seems to take a while for them to absorb the basics but once they get the idea, they move ahead so quickly. Gemma-Rose has been reading fluently for a few months now. I keep catching her with her nose in a book when she's suppose to be doing other things! God bless!
ReplyDeleteAbbie is doing well with the reading, and I think she's really enjoying learning it.
