Trying to teach my girls to read

[Guest guest]

I just thought I would let you know about my new " experiment " . I've

decided to try to teach my daughters to read. They turned 5 in

November, and we are waiting to put them in kindegarten in the fall.

Anyway, a couple of kids in 's class have learned to read from

their mothers using this book " How to Teach Your Child to Read in

100 Easy Lessons " . I got the book, and we're on the 3rd lesson.

I like the book because it is very speech oriented. I think that

will be reading after we finish the book, but I'm not sure

about . 's the one with the severe apraxia. I do think

that no matter what the language practice in the book is going to be

great for both girls.

I'm anxious to see how they do. I would be really thrilled if I

could get to start reading. I don't know if she should be in

a special education kindegarten or in a regular one. I'm hoping by

trying this I'll have a better feel for how she'll do in kindegarten.

Anyway, the girls really like the lessons. They only take 15

minutes a day. We do the reading, and then we do speech homework.

I'll let everyone know how they do with the lessons.
