My 2 yo has done YBCR and some of LR. She's almost 2.5 now so is the window closing for LR? I have been on hiatus, esp after having some problems with LR closing all the time and keeping her attention and did the Leap Frog and now some basic phonics dvd. She knows all her letter sounds for months now and really seems to be ready for the next step (we're sick of hearing the letter sounds around the house,
). She really likes the sounds so I thought it would be good to start somewhat formal phonics with her.
We do magnetic letters and will continue with LR when she can sit long enough, Leap Frog vids but she seems to need a lot of stimulation and activity right now. So any other suggestions for videos, CD's, youtube vids online that would help? I just see a window open right now to teaching her synthetic phonics since she loves the sounds and feel like I'm wasting her potential by not going the next step.
I had HOP but the one I have is letter names and sounds and she already knows those. Anyone know about HOP KG or 1st grade? I like some of their videos on youtube that show the different rhyming words like this:

Thanks.
