Yesterday and today we reviewed the letter A, the color red and squares. He is doing really well at recognizing everything that we have been practicing. He loves to color in his worksheets and help me follow the directions that are given. We are also working on having him correctly hold a pencil/crayer/marker. He has already gotten to the point that he just needs a simple reminder to adjust what he is doing. From what I have seen so far, he is more of a verbal learner. He can point things out to me and tell me what something is, but if I ask him "what is this" he often tells me he doesn't know or asks me. However, if I ask him to show me the square, he can pick it out from all the other shapes.
The other thing that he has been enjoying is his LeapFrog learner that Nana got him for his birthday. It is a small handheld machine that has a keyboard on it and has several different ways to learn letters. You can press on individual letter and it will repeat the letter, the sound(s) it makes and words that start with those sounds. It also has a game where letters float in bubbles and you need to pop the bubbles by pressing the corresponding letter on the keyboard. That is by far his favorite game and he will play it over and over.
We picked up all our books at the library and will start reading them tonight. He is already very excited about reading some new books.
