This program seems to be meant for Rachel, because she to love to memorize things. She loves to watch movies and listen to songs so that she can repeat the lines with them. I am hoping that she really likes this program. It gives you a daily calendar that is 14 months long. I started with the first four cards this morning. It says to make it fun and only do the cards when the child is happy. It also says to do each set of cards three times a day........not sure if Rachel is going to be happy every time. As a matter of fact, she was not thrilled with the first round of flashcards this morning. She is a creature of habit, and I am sure that as it becomes part of the routine, she will be happier to do them.
Below are a few of the over 100 hundred cards that I have printed out this week. I did go ahead and change some of the cards, because the program come with ready to print cards with names that Rachel has never heard. It seems that woud be the same as asking her to memorize the site words that have no meaning to her, so I made my our cards with family and friends names copying the size, font, and color used in the program.
Here is our beginning schedule. Seems straightforward enough to start out (you put a label on the back of each card that shows a letter and number on it to correspond to the schedule below)
But it seems to get a little confusing as it progresses.......
Hopefully, it will all start to make sense to me as I work my way through it. Wish me luck. It will be REALLY cool if it works. I am excited to think that a year from now Rachel could be reading. Another possible plus is an improvement in Rachel's speech. That would be even better!!
Big thumbs up to Rachel and to you! Keep us posted on these exciting times :)
