...should I and where should we start??
Not really entirely a home ed question but DS1 is 4 at the end of september and won't be starting school until 2009. A few weeks ago he asked me to teach him to read. He's been learning letters etc at nursery anyway and we do the whole a is for apple thing with him too. We have also read to him before bedtime since he was a baby and he loves to look at his books and tell his own stories.
I've bought a couple of those galt books and have been slowly 'playing' our way through them with him. He loves to draw his letters and numbers over dots and seems to 'get' it and remember things.
I'm worried about getting it wrong though, what if I teach him wrongly and confuse him? Where do we go next when/how should we introduce phonics. Should I stop and wait til he starts school or plough on making it a game and letting him lead me at his own pace??? Argggg...any help advice book suggestions gratefully received
