Rachel,
ReplyDeleteWe played a lot of letter games and obviously we read alot. She was read to out loud all the time and I think that makes the biggest difference.
We also liked Phonics Pathways and the Bob Books. I checked the bob books out of our local library a few times and tried them several times before she was ready to really read them once I could tell she was using them I bought a set. I also really liked Primary Phonics Readers. We probably spent about a month on bob books, a month on primary phonics and then she graduated to Dr Suess and it seems it all just feel into place from there.
I would say I was pretty eclectic too, those were the primary resources I used but we used them losely. I was mostly sensitive to her desires. At one point she said to me "Mommy I don't want to do phonics can I read two books instead?" Who was I to argue and we put the phonics down for awhile and just read for a bit. Then she realized she could not sound everything out and she asked to go back to daily phonics herself.
Rhiannon is ready very well, it amazes me actually. She loves to do it and it is a gift of hers. She can read things I did not think she could. Last week she read the Classic Illustrated version of the Secret Garden and loved it. She wants to start reading the Chronicles of Narnia now.
If he already has his letters and sounds down I might try the bob books or primary phonics. Pick up a few different things from the library and see what gels with you. Another good online source is http://www.starfall.com/
