Starfall

I have been running out of ideas for inspiring Jacob lately. Someone suggested using Starfall. Satrfall is an online tool for learning to read. I have been spelling to Jacob since birth, so this instructional tool fits right into what Jacob has already learned.

Jacob and I only look at the letters of the alphabet. I have been going through the phonetic sounds of the alphabet, also, since he was born. He really enjoys seeing the letters and hearing their sound. He also loves the Letter B and the "Big Brown Bear." Yesterday, he growled back at the bear. So cute!!! Jacob also had a huge expansion of his vocabulary in the past two weeks. Not sure if this program has helped, but maybe it connects the dots of everything he has learned.

Here is Jacob and I below learning the Letter B.
