We Love Little Hands...but don't know what to do next!?!?
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 9:10 pm
My boys are now 3 and almost 5. This year we have been making our way
through Little Hands to Heaven. My goal was to keep the boys together so as they got older. The idea was to use Little Hands to Heaven and go through Bible stories with both boys while reviewing our letters. It would be a good intro for my little guy and a great review for my big guy.
Now, a few things have thrown me. First of all, I don't know that my sons
will be able to be on the same level. Maybe they can be but right now it
just seems like such a big difference in their ages. During our time doing
LHTH, my youngest son has grown to love the finger plays and the rhymes and the songs. He also loves the activities. Now, my older loves the songs and fingerplays but they have become babyish to him. My younger could do LHTH again. He is speech delayed and going through the ABCs again wouldn't hurt.
During this current year my older son, who has all of his letter sounds down thanks to Letter Factory, has begun reading CVC words. We work through PreETC.
I thought about moving on to Little Hearts to Glory because we do enjoy the program and my older son is ready I believe, but I'm wondering if it would also be beyond my little guy.
Any suggestions? Any help?
Thanks,
