This sounds just like my daughter who is now 7. She has been in speech therapy now for 5 years. She still can't say the G,Y,J, and many other sounds. The therapist tells me to let her say it the best she can. When she is done I tell her good job! No…
I know some people have used the LIPS program to do speech therapy at home, and that might be something you can look into in the future.
We haven't had this problem as much as the issue of my kids not correctly hearing a sound. One thing I've done…
Hi Lana,
Well I'm not sure if I can give you any advice or not but I can tell you what I do with my DS. My DS has a speech problime as well. He was seeing a speech therapist but isn't at this time because she couldn't keep up with his progress. She…
We just received AAS level 1 in the mail and my 5 year old son can't wait to get started. He has some speech issues. He is not in therapy yet. I've been working with him some and next month he will be evaluated again to see if he needs more help.…
Hi Julie! All About Reading will follow the same sequence as All About Spelling (so the first book out will follow AAS Level 1). The word topics/sequence of AAS Level 1 will be followed, but the word lists will be expanded. It will include decoding…
First of all, I wanted to say that I just got my Beehive Reader today and it is beautiful! I love it! Thank you!
My question is about AAR. Aren't they all these days? So, I have a friend that is starting school in September. She has asked me…
Glad that helped! It's all so time consuming, I know. My 13 yo is in vision therapy, both of my kids need lots of one on one in various subjects--my hat is off to you teaching all of your children!!
My 11 yo has struggled with auditory processing,…
Thank you! There's some excellent ideas here. I think I will take all your suggestions for the 4yo until I can better evaluate the needs of the other two. I'm not sure whether to consider DD9 as LD/dyslexic....she's not to the same degree as her old…
LOL, very cute! It's raining cats & dogs here today, I think *I* need a rain "ponko." :-).
BTW, I asked Marie about "Nurse." In the most recent printing of L3, nurse is included in the "more words" section, and in the appendix.
Merry :-)
Hi Deidre,
Whether you can reuse the cards this soon depends on what your 9 yo needs from AAS.
The first step of every level will review all previously learned phonogram, sound, and key cards, so you will always need to "borrow" the cards back for…
Deidre,
I think you can go ahead and start with your 4yo. I like to have separate sets of phonogram cards for my kids, but I don't think most people do that. You can buy the phonogram cards separately, if you are like me. Other than that level 2 wi…
I just started using AAS 1 with my 9yo dd. She is moving through it quite quickly, and we will finish next week. My 4yo already reads CVC words fluently, and writes a lot of inventive writing (but can spell CVC words). I'm thinking of starting 4…
I have the same problem with my daughter. She is younger than your son (almost 8) and she doesn't mind writing, but she is always in such a hurry that it comes out very, very sloppy! Recently I noticed that while doing AAS she became bogged down wit…
