READING: The Beginning

I had high hopes for this teaching to read manual, which follows  Classical Education route, because we kind of hoping to follow this way of learning,  losely.

However, sadly, it doesn't seem to work for us.  Now, our Oliver is quite keen on repeating things generally, perhaps even too keen at times. However, the little rhymes in the book, which are to do with vowels,  consonants and other things which Oliver can't relate to as of yet, has no imagery in his head for, just doesn't make for easy repetition here, let alone remembering.

It didn't seem much point in pushing the agenda for the sake of it, so , at least for now, we'd just left it and stuck with the cards. The cards work well with one exception ( more about it in next post )

 Our next step will be to venture into Songbirds Phonics , so we are covering about 1/3 of all the alphabet to go with the sequence of the phonics.
