Weekly Review: Stepping Stones Together

WOW! It has been a crazy long time since I have been able to post up a review due to all the sickness and other things we have been dealing with! However, we are back on the horse and ready to ride! Just to give a little back info, please check out my first review here.

As we started into the second book, as mentioned in my previous review, Claire had a bit of trouble catching onto it. However, the second time through, was a little easier. The pictures were the best tool for her, because she could look at them and clearly see what the words were saying.

Moving into the third book, she had so much more confidence! As we do each time, we browsed through the story, I read it through once with her, and then she "read" it through using the pictures and the repetitive sentences as her guide.

As of yet, we have not used the flashcards, which contain the commonly used sight words, that go along with each story. Now that we are all feeling better, we will be getting into this much more as we start into schooling within the next few weeks. I am really looking forward to playing different games with Claire using these flashcards!

Some quality time spent with Claire, snuggled up in my bed, using stories containing themes children adore! That's my idea of teaching and learning!

Don't forget to keep an eye out for next week's review!
