Letter Progression Worksheets
One of the newest items to the ABCJLM website is the Letter Progression Worksheets. While working with Bubs on writing his lowercase letters, I found that we made great gains when I showed him the connection between similar letters. Instead of having to learn 26 letters, he learned a few groups and the task wasn't near as daunting. I have not ...

She believes that her son has the ability to read but he ...

It has been a tough few weeks around here with Bubs. The OT has seen a difference at our last two therapy appointments as well. Behavior wise Bubs is very spacey and defiant. He has begun to put his hands to his ears when he is in trouble. Of course this insubordinate behavior is not acceptable in our home and consequences occur. Today he picked ...
Book Review: The Jesus Book
I received The Jesus Book in the mail from Thomas Nelson and had to fight off my children to look at it first. They were drawn to the pictures and immediately wanted me to read it to them. Thumbing through the book, I also found the pictures very inviting. The book is organized in a wonderful why to help a child get to know Jesus as a Personal ...

Bubs is starting to figure out phonics and putting different sounds together to create words. This has been a long time coming though! I realized that I was skipping several important steps in helping him do this thus delaying this process. Hopefully this post will help you as well!I found the book Wow!
