Alex has developed quite an interest in playing his Clifford computer games lately. One is a reading game and the other is phonics. He also loves playing math/reading games on his Leapster. Often I feel bad that he is using technology so much and not wanting to play trains all day like he used to, but I know he is learning all sorts of things when he plays these games.
A lot of the activities focus on matching up rhyming words, words that start/end with the same sound, and filling in the missing number working with 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. We've only practiced counting to 10, sometimes 20! I don't think these games will replace working together one on one with workbooks and such, but he seems to enjoy these just the same. Not to mention, these are great activities when I'm making dinner :)
Who taught this kid how to use a mouse anyway??
