laying in my daughter's bed with both kids snuggled up on either side, reading a book.
Bekah is actually starting to read! It is so fun! For the past 6 months, she has been part of a study where we get to use a free computer program as a learning program. She plays games and does activities on the computer each day. She loves it and it has been so perfect for her! It fits her learning style and it is so educational, even I feel comfortable with her playing computer games. She has even learned things that I would never have thought to teach, like syllables, nursery rhymes, and stories about different scientists. Which is really good, because I know I mentioned earlier how hard it is sometimes for me to sit down and teach her. She is a smart girl... we just have very different learning styles. It's been perfect for us. Too bad it costs about $500 to buy the program so she can continue to use it next year. Kyle enjoys doing it, too, but is not so interested as Bekah. What a blessing!
Isn't it completely amazing to hear a child learn to read... sound out letters and then excitedly put them together to make sounds! Even Kyle is writing letters, and asks me constantly what khhhhht or mmhlllbbbbx spells. What an amazing stage we are at!
