I can’t believe Emmie is a kindergartener! She’s growing stronger and smarter every day. With NF, we know there’s a pretty good chance she can deal with learning disabilities. Armed with this knowledge, we take things slow and are making sure she enjoys every bit of her school time. Thankfully, she’s an eager learner. My goal this year is to get her closer to reading. I’d love to see her reading by the end of the year because she loves books. However, if we just see progress, I think we’ll all be happy. Kindergarten, for us, is all about loving to learn and learning to read. So, with that in mind, here’s what the super hero is working on.
- All About Reading Pre-Reading-I love that this is self-paced and we can split up activities over several days. Emmie is learning to recognize her letters. I stay on a letter until she gets it all while reviewing letters she’s learned previously. After we get letter recognition down, we’ll move on to the sounds. I also use flashcards to review previous letters. We’ve already started to talk about how letters have different sounds.
- Developing the Early Learner-I’ve had all of our kids work through these fun workbooks and it seems to help quite a bit with their thinking processes.
- A Reason for Handwriting Level K
- Later in the year, we’ll add Math Lessons for a Living Education K but it’s not come out in print yet. Hopefully, it’ll be out in September and we can started it our second nine weeks.
Here’s what we’re using for the other grades:
- Everyone
- 2nd Grade
- 4th Grade
- 5th Grade (with special needs modifications)
- 7th Grade
- 8th Grade
- 10th Grade
- 11th Grade
