She said, "She goes to bed at night and wakes up the next morning completely alphabet-free."<br /><br />CRACKED me UP!!!!

I am working on consonant beginning blends (using sing, spell, read, and write). I was holding up the card for cl-trying to get them to say "cl" as in clue and give me a word that started with "cl". One child would say "cl", but then kept saying "color" and "cold" and other words that had an o in the middle-uuuggghhh!I said nothing about an o! I agree with a previous poster about waiting a while and coming back. We were having problems with the consonant-vowel blends and took like 6 weeks and just did a little abc manuscript review from time to time. When I got back around to it, it totally clicked and they looked at it and got it. Without me having to do anything. Makes me feel kinda useless-in a good way:) Another thing, I’m trying to teach my twin girls to read. I am working on consonant beginning blends (using sing, spell, read, and write).

I come to this blog from my favorites for comic relief-and always get it! I was considering using Wordly Wise at some point for vocabulary. I think it starts with 4th grade level. Kathy Duffy has it in her top 100 picks. First of all, this is hysterical! I come to this blog from my favorites for comic relief-and always get it!

My husband actually had to take over, because she insisted she didn't need me to teach the lesson- she already knew it, yet she kept doing it wrong. She then proceeded to tell Daddy that he teaches better. (Yet I'm the one with the teaching degree?? Go figure!)<br/><br/>Just found your site- enjoying it.<br/><br/>Jen<br/>God's Shining Stars<br/>Creative and Curious Kids! I had one of those days last week with my 6 year old, but with math.
