I did not do a letter a day and such. I did little assignments with mine. I would have them go the Library and pick a book that starts with B or what ever never any certain order. They loved searching for a book that had a letter on it. We used blocks,magnets,and foam letters for them to learn to recognize the letters. My youngest is teaching herself to read and it is awesome to see the reading just comming along. I wish I had known how to teach children at home when I was first starting but you learn as you go. I don't do tests, grades or some standard form of measurement. We just do what we do and once they master it we move on. I liked reading this. I did not do a letter a day and such.
