Pictures of 'G' Geode, One of the See abc's® Clues

Okay, so everyone wants to see my cool geode when they get to the "copycat" letters in the blending book, "ABC's See How to Chop and Blend." Geode is the picture clue for when 'G' copies the sound of 'J' as in the words: gym, gem, gerbil, George, and Geode, to name a few. Geode is the hardest picture clue to learn in the program. Geodes are really cool rocks that have crystals in them. A long time ago, but shortly after writing my blending book, I went to a little shop in Park City, Utah. It's a fun town with an old west feel to a section of town. Anyway, I found this really awesome geode that looked just like a letter 'G.' (Geode is the clue for the upper case 'G')

So, of course, I had to have it!

I am posting a couple of pictures of it here so that you can show your children what an actual geode looks like and have them see if they can find the hidden upper case 'G' in the rock. It is easier to see the 'G' in the picture on the grass. But, the picture on the sidewalk is really neat because it looks like it is just part of the sidewalk! Like there is just a little hole in the cement with crystals in it! It just blends right in.

Preschools Using See abc's®

Hi everyone,

Exciting news for those who live in or near Cache Valley, Utah. I wanted to let you know that there is a new pre-school starting that will be using the See abc's reading program. It will be taught by Amy Hilton. She is very qualified to teach it and has used it with several children, including her own. Her 4-year old is all ready half-way through the "Stories See What They Say" book! And her son knew all of the letters' picture clues and sounds at age two! She will have your children reading before you know it! Her number is 435-535-1213.

Also, Wendy Lamb, has been using See abc's in her preschool for many years with great success. Her number is 435-563-0147.

Another pre-school that I know of in the neighborhood will be using it too. It is a mom's school. A group of five moms are going to take turns teaching. So, this is another great way to do preschool.

If you are a preschool that uses our program in another part of the country, please let us know.

Well, enjoy what you have left of your summer! It is going fast and school will be starting this month! Wow!!!
