unit 7 in bigger and little hearts

Have you looked into Shoelace Books phonics? It's a $10.00 PDF you download, and it looks simple to implement. I actually printed out the first 30 pages to try with my son.

"What we fear shouldn't be failure, but of succeeding at the things in life that don't matter."

Lynn, thank you. I have no brothers, so life with boys is different!! :lol: I have noticed a slight change in attitude with my 10 year old son - eye rolling and sighing when he thinks I don't see or hear him. Glad to know this is normal, although not desirable, behavior!! Also, I looked ahead a bit ...
