Wonderful post! I had to teach my kids to read with phonics workbooks I wrote myself because our school taught "whole language", basically memorizing the entire language rather than actually reading. Now our middle daughter loves reading so much she read The Three Musketeers in French for the fun of it.

threecollie, thanks for visiting again!

I visit your daughter's blog from time to time, and her reading lists are incredible! I'm not surprised that she has had an excellent teacher. ;)
