Gone Fishing

Some salesman's been to Rynae's school recently to promote Sounds Write! "The Phonics Series" (USP $79.90) at $35.50 but Mum didn't buy it 'cos I felt it's too advance for beginners. Hence, Mum has to do the teaching herself. Rynae has learnt letter blending with 'at' like cat, mat, sat so it is time to move on with 'ap' and 'an' and then digraphs like 'sh' and 'th'.

She's getting bored with picture and word matching (oh kids!) so I've gota plan another teaching method. What a headache. I tweak our usual game by attaching paper clips to each word card (no pictures this time) and got Rynae to fish out the correct word. I've gota provide excitement enough to learn but not over excited until she is over-awed, in order to keep the learning process going.

Rynae's excited about anything new so she's taking the fishing game quite well. Hopefully this method will tide me by for a while...
