Sweetie, these look interesting. I think we may have fun with them. I showed her an example on the internet and she is excited. Unfortunately there are none in town so we have ordered a couple and will have to wait.

Bobbie- I tried to do the phonics thing with her because I was a whole language reader and not very fluent with the phonics ever...They never did it in school with me. I have found myself wishing I could sound out words on more than one occasion and did not want that for her. I no longer do it with her because she is definitely just memorizing the words as they are. I guess she will get phonics in school and really I have no reason to worry.
