Having a big family can be challangeing and rewarding, I find with each child comes a earlier desire to learn. My youngest being the earliest he spends his days wanting to learn everything his older siblings know. He was the earliest to learn colors, numbers, letters and has a better ability to understand letter sounds than any of our other kids. He's at the stage now that he wants to put everything together and begin to read. I was excited about this and wanted to find a fun way to help him learn to read better, searching I found a program called Little Reader which allows you to create on your own home computer using your own pictures and content, flash cards to help you teach your little ones to read. It's very exciting for him to be able to use this to learn while also recognizing things around him in his everyday life. It's exciting to watch his potential develop and grow and his love for reading become so entrenched into his daily life.

SCHOOL REPORT CARDS....
Yesterday the kids came home with there second term report cards. I had asked them how they felt they did on it and they all thought that they did pretty good and Jay said that he knows he can still do better and is determined to really make a difference on his final report. I know that he can do it he just needs to take his time and make sure that he has all the information he needs when completing school projects and assignments. I sat down and looked 
them over and all 3 kids did show and improvement this report and Kohl my little guy in his first year of school is finally reading. This has just happened all of a sudden, for homework he has 2 short books to read and I was shocked when he picked it up and started reading it to himself. I am amazed at how many words he knows. It seems like less than a month ago he couldn't or wouldn't read any words on his word list. I am so proud of him and he is very proud of himself. After each book he reads he always finishes saying " I did it! I am so proud that I can read". Then you should see his smile :0)
