Letter of the Week

I tried Letter of the Week a few different times with Melissa, its a great program in theory. Its a free program which was the biggest appeal to me, but once I committed to it I had some real trouble just ging with it. All the prep for materials and books to do, getting things ready for activities, it just took too much of the little free time I actually have available. And it wasn't a good fit with Melissa either, she loves books and being read to but it really wasn't clicking well with her, I had a really hard time getting enough books from the library on the weekly theme to read to her and a lot of the activities just plain didn't interest her at all. So I decided that Letter of the Week isn't a good choice for us to do with her right now, but maybe later when she's grown a bit more she'll show an interest in it. I guess I'll give it a 5th try this summer when we can do some outdoor activities with her instead. And I was really excited about the program too, having it all laid out for me to do (the book lists made out, the themes chosen, activies planned, it really is well thought out) I guess maybe its just not time for her yet with that one.
