Reading Time Is Playing Time


This is my 2 1/2-year old granddaughter. She enjoys "playing" with the letters too in "ABC's See What They Say". She can do all three of the tactile steps just fine. Now, her attention span? Well, that's a lot different than her 4-year old sister's. Sometimes she can do several letters and sometimes just two. But, that's okay. Just always start where you leave off the next time you "play" with the book. She really loves singing the song, "Learning Is So Fun", which is helping her learn the letter names, and which picture clue they go with.

My 1-year old grandson will sit on my lap while I go through the entire book - just talking about the pictures and "chopping" off the beginning sound (which with him, we just do 2 times, instead of 3). I take his little hand and chop with him. He really likes to do that.

Enjoy playing with both "ABC's See What They Say", and "123 What Do You See?"

Good, clear suggestions on helping little ones to enjoy the process of learning to read. I felt like I was cuddled up with my grandchildren. Please put a link on your blog so that I can see the great reading program that I have heard about.
