Ainsley knows her alphabet!
This week I finally showed Ainsley the website that Aidan used to play: alphabet flashcards . She missed three answers the first time and she got them all right the second time. Both girls LOVE (ED) this website. It's kindof funny because the character is Australian or something and he does call the "Z" a "zed" but I just say it correctly and we move on. Anyway... if you give her a choice now... she always gets it right. If you ask her straight out what a letter is... she'll know it 95% of the time and get hesitant only a few times.
She's doing great!
Meet the Letters was a success... just a different success than with Aidan. With Aidan, we sat her in front of it at breakfast time for about 10 times... she watched it carefully... and BAM... knew them. Ainsley at first didn't pay a lick of attention to it. We finally figured out that it was because Aidan was with her. So, whenever a good time came up (like nap schedules got mixed or Aidan was on the computer) we'd park Ainsley in front of it. She's *really* watched it just a few times and in those few times... she's picked up on lower cases and really cemented her knowledge of the uppercase. (She had already learned the majority of them from the Leap Frog videos... as well as their sounds) So, it's a success.
I plan to continue to let her play the alphabet flashcard game and I'll introduce her soon to Starfall.com.
Learning is fun!!
