"See abc's® Vowel Cheer"

We all know that vowels have the most important job in teaching children how to read. It's important that children understand this; that every single word must have at least one vowel in it. Many times that vowel isn't even heard, it is silent, but it still must be there: i.e., "bird," "earth."

To help kids remember the vowels, we teach them our "See abc's Vowel Cheer." Follow along with our short video. Two and three-year olds love to do the cheer even though they don't know the significance of the vowels yet. But, that's great. It will just be that much easier for them when they get to that point.

Aarrgh!!! I can't get my link to this video to work! But, it is really cute and it is the easiest way to learn the cheer, which is the EASIEST way to learn the vowels. It is posted on our "See abc's" Facebook page. Search for "See abc's Reading Program" on facebook, scroll down the page and you will find it. Become our fan on Facebook!

You've Worked on the Alphabet; What About the Writing?

Wow! Summer is more than half over! So, you've been working hard trying to get your child prepared for school by learning their alphabet, but what about his/her handwriting? Here's a fun way for kids to learn how to write. It is different than anything out there. Kids get to learn how to write by drawing, which is a lot more fun than making random lines and circles. And, they get to do it with a magic finger! It's demonstrated here in yet another cute video; the child is cute and you will just have to put up with watching me!

Video of See abc's Alphabet Flash Cards

Hi everyone, or should I say, "Aloha!"

I'm back from an amazing trip to Hawaii where I went to Wakiki Beach, shops, and aquarium; the Dole Plantation, the Polynesian Cultural Center, snorkeling with brightly colored fish, went to Pearl Harbor and the Punch Bowl military cemetary, and the highlight - my niece's wedding! So much fun. Got many souveniers. I did really well not to slurge on myself until I saw the little seashell stand. Then I just went nuts! I love seashells. My favorite is the blowing Conch shell.

Came home, and the next day my husband and I moved our son out to Indiana to start 4 years of dental school. We spent a few days there and helped him set up housekeeping in his nice house. Got to see the fireworks and fireflies while back there. I LOVE fireflies. They are so cool. Wish we had them here in Utah. I could watch them all night!

Now it is back to reality and work. I've been trying to learn how to make and upload videos. Here is one of some kids ages 2-5 playing with the See abc's Alphabet Flash Cards. It will give you a few of the many fun ways you can use them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaI4QcWDozY
