I am so lucky to have my mom here....the actual author and founder of the reading program 'See ABC's' and she has been working with Sammy. It is the funnest system, Sam LOVES it, and is learning like crazy!!! For any of you looking for a fun way to practice letters, to help your kids start the reading process, or help your kids improve their reading if they are struggling... I can NOT say enough about this amazing program!!! Check it out at www.seeabcs.com, and then contact me if you are interested or have questions. ...I have..."connections". hehehe :0)Because of this great program...Kaitlyn is starting to learn the picture clues, and love the songs and cheers! Samantha has been her best teacher...and, I gotta tell ya, this conversation is one of my favorite mom moments...
Sam: "Kaity, I'm going to teach you 3 sounds, k!
Say, Mommy says 'mmm'."
Kaity: "Mommy says 'mmmm'."
Sam: "Sammy says 'sssss'."
Kaity: "Sammy says 'ssss'."
Sam: "Kaity says 'kkkk'."
Kaity: "I says 'kkkk'."
Sam: "No, Kaity! Kaity says 'kkkk', I says 'ssss'."
Kaity: "I says 'ssss'."
Sam: "Kaity...no, no, no....You got 2 sounds right. Now, let's try again..."
Hahahaha......Imagine that conversation for 10 minutes. It was soooo funny! I'm crying just writing it!!! Who knew how many way those 3 sounds could be taken!
Samantha is such a smart girl, and on Feb. 22, she conquered a milestone! SAMANTHA READ HER FIRST WORDS!!! I know many of you have kids that have already passed this time of life, but it was sooooooo fun to watch her!!! She has been learning all the sounds, picture clues and names of all the letters. She's also learned the vowels...fun songs and cheers that my mom has taught her. And she's done great! She LOVES practicing her letters!
And her face.....priceless. Her eyes sparkled, her smile...ear to ear... She was filled, no...over-flowing with the sense of accomplishment and ran over to give me a great big hug in celebration!!
I am soooo proud of her! She's started this part of the program and doing exceptionally well and is a full year ahead of most kids at this point. :0) She loves it and is craving more knowledge. It's so exciting!!! Good job Sam!!! I love you!!

I would love to get some of those books. I have a 4 year old that has a late birthday and so we all next year to find fun preschool stuff to do. I will have to check out your moms website.
That is so stink'n awesome. I remember that your mom did this book. I am so checking it out to see if there is something I could use on my two youngest!
That lil' conversation had me cracking up! adorable~
Yay for her start to reading!
What a cute mom you have.
That is so cool Sammy can read. Rylie is in Kindergarten and can read small words but she struggles and gets frustrated and then gives up. I will definitly have to check out your moms stuff. I know Jaelynne speaks highly of it.
I cannot say enough good about this program as well! I just started a blog Rachelle and have no idea how to do this....give me some tips por favor! Yours is so cute!
I heard about these from Jan and keep forgetting to ask you, I'm very interested in getting some..
Rachelle! How are you doing? Where are you living? You have a very cute family. We need to catch up.
Rachelle, we definitely need to get together. We just live in Providence. Email me at jeffcthurgood(at)gmail(dot)com and we can work out when to get together.
How lucky to have Grandma teaching her. These are pretty exciting days, I loved when my kids learned to read. The world becomes a whole new place for them. Good job!
Those moments are to die for. I love being a mom to see through their eyes as they grow up. I would also love to try your mom's program!
Yes, I think a girls night is what I need too! Let me know when you can and we should call Jenny and bring her some oreos and see her new house. I will call you today!
How old is Sam? That looks like a great program...I'll have to check it out.
