Dot and I have been working through All About Reading: Pre Reading, both due to her interest in letters and due to not having much else to do with so much shut down for Covid-19.
We truly enjoy it, and she asks to do her letters most days. Sometimes we get tired of decorating the letter pictures, and I tell her that we have to finish our picture before doing another lesson. We tend to spread out the lessons over two days, one for the oral parts of the lesson and the other for the coloring page. I really like all the word games that we play, as I can see how it helps her to think about the smaller sounds that words are made up of.
She knows most of her capital letters, but several are still being solidified in her head. She has started writing words a lot, asking how to spell them. She often remembers how to write "hi" on her own.
It is lovely to have this third child and to not be in a rush. (Except sometimes I long for the day when she'll lose herself in a book).
