Yes, I downloaded the Funnix for her. I won't pass up a good deal like that, in hopes of using that instead.
She doesn't like it at all
For some reason phonics is not coming easy to her at all. She knows her letters and sounds, just putting them together doesn't seem to 'click for her for some strange reason. She reminds me of my oldest daughter. She had the same problem with phonics. I tortured my oldest with from the time she was 4.5 to the age of 8. It was 4 very LONG years. Sigh. It wasn't until I added in whole words approach then did she pick up on reading. She was finally reading fluently at the age of 9 and now at the age of 13 she reads at grade level.
My 2nd and 3rd daughter picked up on reading with phonics, but my 4th is just like her oldest sister and instead of torturing her with phonics instruction I just want to get her up and reading first then return to phonics. Of course if there are words to be sounded out I ask her to , and I show her and tell her the rule. But she just gets very irritated with the whole process for some strange reason.
