Thanks for the encouragement DadDude, some days I feel like I'm talking to the birds and all my efforts are for nothing, but then I remind myself that at least hearing language and getting attention is good for the little guy. We'll know how much he's been learning once he starts talking better, I'll post on it.
I must say, I agreed with your post on EK the other day, to me it sometimes feel as though the kids are learning rimes rather than facts, so I try and state my facts differently each time I say them. (Each fact gets repeated once a day for a month, so I probably repeat the exact same sentance many times though
)
I forgot to mention that I many times pick facts from things I can physically show him, like a painting in our house, the neighbour's car, the statue in town, etc. We also have a big blow op globe, so if I mention a country in one of my facts (or if the entire fact sheet is about a country) I'll point it out on the globe (Will loves balls so the big globe is a favourite toy!)
There's so much STUFF to download for LR, I've been showing him some EK LR sets too, but more with the idea of making things fun and to help him learn how to read.
