this is great thank you

okay i'm tossing my phonics stuff before it's too late- will progress with sight reading yikes!

also the break idea is as you know from doman's teaching- but anecdotally it has worked for my kids if it makes you feel better about doing so- and when i took the course at IAHP they did stressto do that so as not to turn the kids off  sometimes i just ask them if they want "to do the words" and if it's a no I change the subject and see if they;re in the mood a bit later

my 2 cents is to totally take a break sorry if you have tried this and i didn't read other posts- but i've had a similar experience with both kids and they seem to enjoy it more after they have missed a few days, also really try to use words that your baby likes- personalize them- my son loves any words relating to pirates, peter pan but doesn;'t have an eye for the kit about reading from gentle revolution unless i show it to him in the car at stoplights!

ooh very cool thanks a lot

how funny!  good luck

thannk you for the great input

Hi there- I miss the bay area- born and raised there but have since migrated south.  Sounds like you're doing great and congrats on your second.
