Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your  reply.
Your mail was an eye opener. I have just started researching about teaching and learning methods for my son.
I was confused by the ton of information out there and dozens of methods for early education.

English is not my native language.So when i said naughty i was not meaning to label him,but just describing his playfulness.

As for the goals ,I just have them to get a sense of direction.But am not planning to stress myself nor my son with a "game plan"

I will check the books and website you mentioned.

Thanks a ton.

I regret starting out  a little late. Last year we were caught up in his health issues.
He has a severe wheezing problem. We had to go through traumatic hospitalizations.

Now that we are back on our foot,all i want him to do his learn the joy of Reading.



We do not have cable. I canceled the day he was born.I dont show him any s/w too. He watches "Arthur" an hour evryday on Youtube 

But he did like the phonics Iphone App and Starfall i tried today.



"Early education is all about holding the highest image of your child"


These lines touched me a lot.Inspiring.I would love to hear more from you.

So the activities you mentioned,where are they available?Doman?
I just learnt about the Doman methods.

Please help with the names of the best methods.So i can gather materials and resources.

My son is starting out in phonics,knows numbers(not conceptual though),very good vocab(bi-lingual),loves to dance.




Thanks a ton,
AJ

Am a 1st time Mom to a very naughty 2.4 yr old boy.
My three goals for my son now are :
1.Teach him to Read.
2.Teach him Basic Numbers and Counting.
3.Potty Training


I have to accomplish them before his Preschool starts in September.

For his Reading:
1.Am at present trying Sidney Ledson's Egg Game. The game itself is very good.But my son is very naughty and does not want anything to with Alphabets.His is more interested in gathering the rewards and does not wait for his turn.

I also downloaded some Iphone Apps for phonics. Am able to sustain his attention for a little bit.
He loves books and would sit down with me to read three books at a time.


As for Math.He hates Numbers.What is the best way to teach Math?



I also tried Starfall. He is a little interested in it.But he is just starting out. So does not apply to him yet.



Please help. Any tools and websites for help?


Thanks,
Akkuka's Mom
