Working @ Home

I experienced one of the great advantages of working at home today: my 4 y/0 burst into my office ecstatic that he could read. Ecstatic would be a vast understatement. He's euphoric. He probably only knows a couple dozen words and only knows them in the context of his reading program but he is absolutely giddy with excitement about reading. All three of my boys learned to read using Headsprout - Phonics Based Reading Lessons Online. My older daughter was a little different. She just started reading one day. Our family could be a walking commercial for Headsprout. They love the lessons and the sense of accomplishment when they accomplish another one. Certainly it helps that we read to them nearly every single day of theirs lives and they get minimal TV, but Headsprout is a great resource.
