Hi there: I was enjoying your design and remembering this age for my son when I saw this post. I’m a mom with a dyslexic kid and I have learned a lot about different ways of teaching. One of the most interesting things that I’ve learned just recently is that verbal, clapping, and singing games can be the best way to teach your child about phonemes, or individual sounds. (VERY VALUABLE in reading) Here’s a blog post that I wrote about it. But I wanted to make the point that at a young age, playing a rhyming game, or matching the first sound can be fun, portable, and valuable. Also, if you’re learning letters don’t forget to trace them in sand like the Montessori folks, or make them out of clay. You could even have “C” day (for example). I think that the statistics for dyslexic kids are 1 in 10, so in your group of kiddies you might have some who learn letters very differently! Here’s my post on phonemes. Cheers,
