I found this website, Starfall. It is a reading program that is free. Jonathan is enjoying it. He was reading and even enjoying it. I think it is a nice change from our regular reading program. I am trying different things for him to read and see which he enjoys most. I know he don't like sitting and reading for a long time so we haven't been doing the stories in the "...100 ez lessons" book. We will go back to them later I guess. I have been printing the words out on paper and he don't mind reading them that way. I have put some on the fridge with magnet letters and when he sees them we sound them out and make sentences with the words. I think he likes that too. Anything to keep him interested and still learn.
We are coming to the end of our Math U See Primer book. We are learning to tell time. He likes that. He has been interested in time for a while and so he likes doing these pages and we also look at it on the clock and on a wooden play clock that he has.
I haven't decided if I really want to take the whole summer off or what. I really don't want to but don't know if I should continue on with the next book in MUS or just review for a while. I will have to think on this. I believe we will continue phonics and reading in a relaxed manner. I don't want him to forget anything and there is so much to learn.
I am still thinking about using the Heart of Dakota curriculum for next year. I like that it is biblical based and all planned out for me. I wish I knew of others to look into but haven't found anything I like yet. Any ideas?
