Isaac began watching the Letter Names and Letter Sounds DVD that comes with the Hooked on Phonics curriculum that was given to me! He loves it! I have a feeling the DVD will get on my last nerves though! ;) haha...I wanted to say that HOP has changed quite a bit from when I was young. In my education classes at OU, they always seemed to be down on the HOP curriculum, but I think it was because they didn't want us to soley use HOP. I like the readers in the set. It will be a good addition to all the other plans I have. I think it is good to keep instruction varied.
I keep educational toys around the house. Today, Isaac was playing with his foam bath letters on the floor. I encouraged him to put them in ABC order. Just another fun, different way to practice the alphabet.
Danielle's Place is a great educational website that I signed up for a while back. You can find alot of bible lessons on here, but you have to check to keep some of it scriptural. I found a unit on "Consider the Ant." The child studies the letter A while studying the verse in Proverbs. Great activities. I'm gonna try to do a unit on this for Isaac.
I let Isaac paint some letters. He enjoyed it so much, I was afraid he was gonna have to paint the whole alphabet!
