I might do that. I have a hard time teaching hooked on phonics because it doesnt make since in my brain. I plan to use it to teach him the letter sounds. With writing I have a book that works on just drawing lines so I might do that with him instead of writing letters and we have magnets he can use for the spelling if he wants. So we can do that. I also have games from jump start he can play but he isnt really good with a mouse. So it takes him lots of work. Thanks for the advice.
