Reading Reflex - Teaching Your Child to Read

Yesterday while doing the Reading Reflex lessons with my daughter, we tried something a little different. I spread cornstarch out onto a cookie sheet and she "mapped" her words in that instead of paper and pencil. It was a major success. After we were done I let her mix water into the cornstarch and it made that gooey, slimy, kind of texture and she played with that for at least an hour. There are all kinds of suggestions in the book to have them map their words in, sand, salt, clay.

I really like Reading Reflex. It is so simple to use, no worksheets, and it covers everything and gives a good foundation. You cut the book up and use these little alphabet tiles for the lessons. It is very effective for most kids.
