Moondog, I blame you personally [grin]

I knew DD1 wasn't ready to try something like Headsprout yet, but DD2 (3.4) has been recognising her preschool mates' names for a while, being able to differentiate 'Indianna' from 'Isla', 'Patrick' from 'Peter', 'Jasmine' from 'Jamelia'. I am not sure how, to be honest, a mixture I think of recognising initial letters, remembering what colour the cards are for each child....don't know.

I looked at Headsprout and saw they have a free trial of 3 lessons.

DD2 has torn them up - she adores it. Now, she is saying every 5 minutes, it seems, "I want to watch Headsprout" "I want to do Headsprout."

She is looking over my shoulder saying 'Look Mum, it is a SSSSSS' or 'I can see a VVVVVV' 'It says aaaaaaannnn' 'eeeeeeeeeeeee'

I am just gutted that I didn't get it when they had their 50% discount on 4th-7th December!

I am amazed, to be honest, that just 45 minutes of sitting in front of a computer has started DD2 with 'reading'.

So thank you!!
