Just trying to think on when I should start LHTH with him.


Oh Tansy....you're singing my song!! Raymond and Dorothy Moore have a wonderful book called "Better Late Than Early" that is a really good read. That must have been a great workshop you went to.Tansy wrote:Be sure he ready "to learn to read" before you start him in on it. The seminar I was at this weekend very much advocated better late than early. And pointed out that many boys are actually not ready to learn to read till they are 7 years old. She really wanted us to relax as mom's "their is no reason your child should be in tears over his lessons" she admonished us.oo have I been there and done that!
This is what we did with both of our sons. With my first son, I started LHTH with him when he was 3, and we did it 3 times a week. I did the letter activities and the fingerplays daily though, just for "memory's" sake, and plus they were fun! When he finished at age 4 1/2, he was ready for LHFHG and did very well with it all right away.LeAnna wrote:Carrie,
Thank you! I was wondering if others were starting their boys at 3 with LHTH. So, after 1 year or 2 years of LHTH, did you go on to LHFHG? And, then did you just do half a page a day? How about with using Phonics along with?
Thanks so much for all my many questions!!!
