Our first day of RR

[Stirsmommy]

Whew! I did it. I definitely pscyched myself out over it. It really was painless. What I didn't take into account is that every thing in chapter three is review. Just a new format that he loves. Now my question is can we kind of speed through this chapter. He is disappointed we stopped but I had already done what I had planned to do for today and tomorrow with him. I had planned small chunks to get started. I began to panic I wasn't doing it right.:eek: So so far so good. I need to get on stick and order the support for advanced code so I can read it before we get there. I always worry about shipping time and don't want to make things drag if he is getting it. I do plan to slow down more in chapter 4.
Oh and my non-writer even enjoyed the writing part using the notebook paper (we had never tried that before) and wrote until he got tired.
Anyway just thought I would share our first day.

Melissa, I saw that Claire mentioned that. I went to Read America and couldn't find the name she mentioned. I did a google search and nothing turned up. Do you know where to get it? I need to get one too.

Thanks, Debbie

I had to write the company. They have changed the name but did say to what and referred me to the work book section. So I am guessing it is now the two workbooks for advanced code. I am just not sure. I may have to write them again.

Well, I looked. That was my best guess, the workbooks. Thanks ~

Hi, I just checked the ReadAmerica site and they have split the old Parent Support Book into at least 3 parts. One part covers the vowel sound spellings and a second part covers mostly consonant sound spellings. The multisyllable part has been put in yet another workbook. All of these "subjects" used to be in one large workbook, but maybe they've put additional material in each of the new workbooks. I haven't seen them.

Hope this helps.
