We're constantly adjusting our homeschool style, focus & pace as we find what works for Reid and our family for now. While Reid's reading skills are taking off at an amazing rate, he's still so young that the repetitive exercises in the Alpha-Phonics book we were using proved to require more patience than he's got at this age, so we've scrapped it for now. In the meantime we've just been reading to each other a lot. We've got a new rule in our home that requires him to read me one of his level 1 or 2
I Can Read /
Step into Reading books if he wants any computer or tv time, which has cut down on screen time and increased reading time.
Following the advise of seasoned homeschool teachers, above reading, our focus is on behavior, obedience, character and relating to God. These lessons all take place in everyday life, so no curriculum or lesson-planning at this point.
