I’m pairing the reading skills set with logic of English B! We are only on silent E books right now, but it gives her extra reading practice and we will be on this set for awhile! I will continue to do it into set C of logic of English as she will prepare for chapter books
Thanks for sharing this info. Have you found any good ways to store the reading kits? Would you recommend bins of a certain size to fit the games when not in use?
If you watched my playroom tour (ruclips.net/video/t1t713qkbSo/видео.htmlsi=Vy-rVAxQAIAFSqS8) around 6:30 I show a cabinet we have in our "Art" area, I just cleared out half of a shelf and all the games I show us currently using in this video fit in there! I like having them in a "high traffic" area because my kids pull them out more frequently on their own. For the unused games I have them in the arched cabinet to the side of my in this video! Once you get the stuff out of the lovevery boxes (which is HUGE), it actually stacks down fairly small.
Hey great video. My son starts speech therapy next week and he already started identifying letters and letter sounds. Do you think this would be appropriate for him or should I wait til he finishes his speech therapy Journey. He is only 2 but loves letters and pretend reads. I don’t want to miss the moment
At 2 years old I would ask the speech therapist if playing games that identify syllables, rhymes, and compound words would be helpful! With our SLP at 2 years old, she was focusing on basic CVC words and we were nowhere near ready for multiple syllables. The part 1 program itself focuses on those larger phonological concepts that lay a foundation for blending/reading and you won't miss the moment on anytime soon IMO. I think even in my Part 1 vs Amazon review, a lot of the "dupes" were geared towards 6 year olds for those concepts.
This is such a helpful video!! It really is. Do you think your daughter was just simply ready and this just made it click? We have the first reading kit but my daughter (4 1/2) kinda lost interest in a few weeks. I'm still contemplating getting the second kit for Christmas. I tried buying it with your discount code (TCM) but it says it's no longer valid?
Thank you!! No - she had been reallyyyy trying but nothing was clicking; At school I believe they were doing flashcards/drills and writing things down and it was just an absolute mess, she often chose not to participate in class actually during that time of day (the confidence thing I mentioned and within 3 weeks of starting what I outlined here she actually LED "reading" for the entire group that week!); we 100% needed part 1 to get the phonological awareness of larger words/concepts in place before we could progress forward to blending for her. I also think the blending games (i think those are in part 2) took the pressure off of reading in a book from the start? I'm not totally sure what one specific thing it was, but she knew her letter sounds and nothing was getting her reading before this despite a longgg desire to. I will say, until I started to actually combine the games AND the books, she did lose interest after playing the games for a couple of weeks. I think she needed to know there was another step after. And seeing the other series of books on the shelf she hasn't gotten to yet motivates her to practice. Even this morning her brother was doing the maze while I was in the kitchen and she was playing the compound word game alone... but again they both have larger goals in mind (he wants to desperately catch up to her and the bigger kids in the class (it's 3-7 year olds), and she wants to move up to the older kids class/get the new books. If they didn't have goals I don't think they'd play with it randomly, which is another reason I said waiting is totally ok in my first video of the series!
I know this Q wasn't for me lol but just a note on mastery: If you are playing the games like I show in the video, only portions, then they are going to keep feeling "fresh" since it'll be cards/words they constantly haven't done. Mastering them is a subjective term here, and one that I would associate with "just knowing" because you've done it so many times you have it memorized (e.g. you don't actually need to do the mystery word decoder because you've already memorized watch pattern matches what picture or the same concept applies to the compound words game). Read my other comment I just posted in this thread for why I *suspect* interest fell off based on what I saw with my kids! @lilykimberlyflowersinwestc1631
@@confidentlymom Thank you! It makes so much sense that there is more motivation if they know that there is more to come. I guess I'll be buying the part 2 then :)
@@lilykimberlyflowersinwestc1631 yes and no. She knows about 75-80% of her letters. But she loses motivation as soon as she gets to a few letters that she is unsure of. We've had a bit of a dip in confidence when she realized some kids were ahead of her in school. We are working through that.

Did she master everything quickly? Is that why she got bored?
Thank you!!
