Keep going…KEEP GOING! They are learning
these sounds very well, and both of you are enjoying yourselves…KEEP UP THE
GOOD WORK>>>IS THIS WORK? NO….keep putting the noises together to form
a word. YES. They are reading!!!!

Ultimately, this program helps a child’s
view of the joy and incredible lightness of being in life within this framework
of reading. Parent and child will have a more loving relationship as they
explore his world together. A happy childhood fuels and creates a solid and
secure adult life. I saw this with my children even though their father died in
their teenage years.
