  1. I have boys but several years ago we started reading to them after dinner [they eat slowly] and it absolutely has become one of our favorite parts of the day. We have read the Narnia series, the Little House series, Caddie Woodlawn and are now on the Redwall series. Good luck! Celia
  2. He's reading (and he loves it) at at least a 3rd or 4th grade level, and his comprehension and memory work has always been really good as well. Looking at the Spalding website, I don't know that that's appropriate. But thank you! We are using WWE, as well as FLL. He likes both because they're tied to our reading.
  3. My son is 6 and is reluctant to write. We're easing into the writing, because I know developmentally it will come, but I'm having a problem finding spelling programs that are not simply workbook pages. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good program? He is a fantastic reader, and I know he will get much of his spelling and vocabulary through his reading, but I wanted something to teach the rules etc. Thanks in advance!
  4. I find I need grace very much when I'm in the car (and at 5pm, my witching hour). I need to take that breath before I call someone an doofus, or worse. We were all traveling in the car the other day, and my son (5) saw a woman riding a scooter without a helmet. He asked why she wasn't wearing one. We've been talking a lot about free will and how God doesn't stop people from doing things that are bad or wrong, so this led into the familiar discussion. After, he said "Gosh, I hope she doesn't get hurt." Two seconds later, I got cut off on the freeway and started to get upset, and my husband had to remind me of what my ds had just said - so I could take that breath and wish them the best. Sigh. Celia
  5. Also joining in late - new to the boards! We are in Santa Rosa - 50 mi. north of San Francisco, near the vineyards. Yum.:p
