There are two curriculum options I would like to suggest. Both programs are great, but definitely have their differences.
The first is the Letter of the Week curriculum as found on the Confessions of a Homeschooler website. It costs $10 to purchase the whole package. This can either be used as a supplementary curriculum to the Brightly Beaming, or just on it's own. It can also be used as 'file folder' games for a rainy day, as there are many different kinds of activities for each, individual letter. I would also use this to repeat or reinforce the letters if the child needs a little more time and practice.
The second is the Letter of the Week curriculum found on the Brightly Beaming website. This program is a little more rigorous, as it tailors the letter of the week to a theme and different elementary subjects. Included is a poem, rhyme, and various book suggestions, a musical composer to learn about, songs to sing, a bible story/character trait, a math concept, science ideas, social studies ideas, an art project, a sport/game/activity, and a field trip-ALL based on the letter A (or B, C, D,...)! It's pretty amazing.
I bought the confessions of a homeschooler letter of the week cd but I had never seen the other one by Brightly Beaming. It is fantastic! I have a 3 year old that really wants to "do school". Thanks for sharing.
