3-year Old Demonstrating How to Blend Sounds into Words

Hi everyone,

Many children are now at the point that they are putting the individual sounds together to make words in order to learn how to read!!! Watch this video of a little three-year old showing how to use the blending book, "ABC's See How to Chop and Blend - a Recipe for Reading." I LOVE this book! There are hundreds of words in it and when you go through it reading one word at a time; word after word, you will be laying a VERY solid foundation for your child in beginning reading. They begin with "short vowels" followed by the "long vowels" and "copy cat" letters in Level One. Then in Level Two, they move on to the consonant blend words (words that begin with 2 or 3 letters: trip, street, etc.). And it ends with the digraphs (letters that come together to make a completely new sound; the /ch/ in "chair," and /sh/ in "shine."

Is anyone else as anxious for spring to come as much as I am? And, I'm more excited for daylight savings time so that it will stay light longer!
