Decision Made...Almost

We have pretty much decided on homeschooling. Well, we've sorta unofficailly started. Since Alex is only 3 it's not very structured yet,we just get non-fiction books on whatever subject Alex is interested in at the moment and the lessons are short. We also are using Hooked on Phonics, Kumon workbooks, Joyful Life (Abeka's Sunday School department), Leap Pad, DVD's, the internet, read a lot,and field trips to museums, the zoo... We are also teaching Alex to tell time.

We sent our child to kindergarten and will be sending her to public school as well.

However, when she was 4 my wife took her through the book 'Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons' http://www.startreading.com/ I highly recommend it. It took 20 min per day and about 100 days. She was able to read KJV bible! She was reading pretty well when K-garten started. By the time it was over she tested at 4th grade level.

Say Hi to Frank from DLI.
