Y ou can get them at barnes nd Nobles but it lokos like Amazon has a better selection. At the same time we used Explode the Code Primers and now she is about half way through book one. We also do  Starfall on the computer as well as thier print off sheets.   You can order thier stuff for so cheap.  It all works together really nicely.  For books she is reading Bob Books it sounds like a lot but as you can see consistancy isn't my strong point.  if we had been going mor consistantl;y she would have been reading early fall.    Shame on me.  Fortunatey she is pushy. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/78354/ Fri, 3 Feb 2006 22:13:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/78354/ we had another awesome productive day.     madeline forgot to practice piano but I think almost everything else got done.  Lily read her second book and is digging this reading thing. So here are thier sticker picks for the day since they did so well: Madeline::  Lilyka::  Ava::  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/78285/ Fri, 3 Feb 2006 20:26:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/78285/  it isn't as bad as it looks.  I have been educating my children just not updating.  we are getting ina very nice post holiday groove actually the important news today is : LILYKA MAE READ HER VERY FIRST BOOK EVER!!!! and now she gets to put on a bunch of stickers to celebrate this huge acomplishment:                                            http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/76837/ Wed, 1 Feb 2006 11:44:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/76837/ It has been a month since I did an entry.  i wish I could say we were diligently plugging away but we are not.  Well with the exception of the last 4 dayas.  weh ave done everything for 4 days in a row.  I have ben working so much though.  I need to get some stuff up on e-bay.  I need to get moving.  But my computer is doing something weird relating to pictures. . . Ok so,  we have been dilengtly doing math, handwriting and spelling with madeline.  She needs to practice piano desperately.  We busted out her sewing maching the other day.  She was stoked.  after Christmas i am goingot have her start a quilt. Lily is reading!!!!  how exciting is that.  She has a long way to go to even steady decoding but she is slowly growing.  She is also kicking butt at math.  She is doing handwriting.  I just don't care enough about handwriting.  her is atrocious as well as her sisters. Ava is sounding out words along with Lily.  I shoudl make more effor to actualy include her.  She might pick up reading opretty quickly this way. I shall update more frequently. . . . i shall update mroe frequently . . . . I shall update more frequently . . . . http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/53097/ Wed, 7 Dec 2005 09:28:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/53097/ we did pretty good this week.  we are taking today off because I went to bed feeling liek crap and woke up feeling worse.  some weirdness in my shoulder which made it impossible to move my arm, hands and shoulder.  It dissapeared as mysteriously as it appeared.  My head and neck still hurt but I think I must have slept funny on it. So last week in school. madleline did math every day and spelling most days. She knew her memory verse.  Lilyka started new math.  the book is supposed ot last us 36 weeks. doubtful.  she did the first 4 weeks in 2 days.  this is one slow program.  We have also been reviewing letters and working on fine motor/writing skills. Me?  I have discovered Charlotte Mason.  How have I never looked into thi?.  it is so me.  I love her.  she is brilliant.  and yet it is all such common sense.  I am really excited about the direction our education, or rather our lives, are taking. blessings, S. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/40674/ Fri, 4 Nov 2005 13:30:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/teenybopperwithin/40674/
