Iamblessed Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 My 4 yo is doing great with learning his letter sounds and blending to read words but he still gets some of his letter names mixed up. Is there any fun way to help him with this. He doesn't have a real long attention span at this point so I need something that I can fit into his 20 min. reading lesson.

Seeking Squirrels Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Talking Letter Factory DVD. :iagree: LeapFrog's Letter Factory is awesome. We also have Talking Words Factory and a few others. DD loves them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamblessed Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks for those ideas! He loves to watch videos. Would any of these be on Netlix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom24cuties Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I agree with letter factory, my 4yo LOVES it, also try starfall. My son loves starfall also and you can print out the little books they use on the website for extra practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Another vote for the frog. I think I've heard someone say it's on Netflix, but I don't have it, so wouldn't know. It's a $7 DVD, IIRC, so it was worth buying for us. :) Also, I wouldn't stress about letter "names" while learning to read. The important thing is the letter "sounds" and the blending. Letter names can come later. Of course, if your child can learn them from the frog, great. That's how my youngest two learned them. :D Also, let him play starfall.com (free side), and you'll forever have the zipper song and other such things in your head, but your child will also likely learn those letter names (still do the frog though).

Mommie_Jen Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 :iagree: yup, starfall.com and the leapfrog videos (they are on Netflix). Starfall has a free section for the alphabet, but I have a subscription to the paid site ($35/yr), which covers alphabet, early reading, songs, and an awesome math area.

Iamblessed Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Wonderful! These are all great ideas! I'll check out Netflix for the Leap Frog videos and also starfall. Thanks much :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
