READING: starting Stage 4, and adding new cards

Oliver loves starting new books and though I'd expected him to really struggle with this new Stage as he did with couple of new Stages before, he's getting on with his first chosen book in Stage 4 really well.

I think  sound and word CARDS are incredibly important when learning how to read, or it's proven to be so for us.  I found that even if Oliver comes across a word he'd learned from cards, which he then torn up as 'finished with', and can't remember it anymore, it only takes one or two glances at a new card of it and he totally remembers it again.

I'm trying to do cards for all unusual words he encounters while reading that tend to crop up often!
