\nA game making story from the #landofcute<\/p>\n
Some of you may know that I am homeschooling Marcus. Today we were doing a lesson from my favorite book “Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons” when Marcus started asking me how to spell things totally unrelated to our lesson. I soon realized that he was feeling pretty determined to take over today’s class, so, I said “what should we do?”
\n“I know. Let’s play eye spy with something in this room. So, for instance, for the carpet I would say “I spy with my little eye something that begins with c-a, and then you have to guess what it is and then we spell it.” We were at it for 35 minutes totally engaged. He and I are just amazed at how silly English can be. Words like light are the silliest, what is up Mommy with”ight”? He also did a tiny drawing of each word he learned. This is what he learned to spell today.<\/p>\n
