No this isn't a tribute post to the late King of Pop, rather a little display of Christopher's alphabet skills. Earlier this summer I bought him a video by Leap Frog called Letter Factory. This video came recommended by several people, and I highly recommend it as well. He watches it in the car whenever we run errands, about 20 minutes at a time. Well after seeing it so often, he has learned phonics. He knows all the letters and most of the letters' sounds. Last week he came up with a game. He removes the magnet letters off the fridge one at a time and says their sound as he places them on the floor. Some sounds are harder for him to make, but in all he is amazingly accurate. As well as letters he can now count to eight, thanks to the book Eight Silly Monkeys which we've read to him many many times. Before you know it, he'll be ready for kindergarten, slow down Christopher!

Wow! We'll have to get that video!
Wow! We are on the waiting list at the library for the video. I wanted to check it out after you mentioned it. Maybe we'll just buy it!
