After much consideration and almost purchasing LEM Phonics I decided to get All About Spelling, and I am soooo glad I did!!  We just LOVE it!!

As Ethany is reading fabulously I  didn't feel it necessary to put her through normal formal learning to read phonics, and she hated Explode the Code with a passion!  So I decided to move on to teaching spelling which provides a backdoor route for phonics and it is a hit.

Today we taught Bindi a few new phrases.

We are almost through Level 1, Ethany doesn't complain at all and we can make it as fun and silly as we like.  If you have not already checked it out I can't highly recommend it enough, please have a look.
