Thanks to Nancy Carswell for praising the method used
"The Anchors and Sails reading method teaches letter sounds rather than
letter names. Really, when you think about it the letter name "h" is not
used for reading; it is the letter sound "huh". Preschoolers are eager
learners especially when it means one-on-one time with a caring person.
The method is very well thought out. The method begins with only lower
case. After introducing seven consonants and a vowel, children can read
words like sat, hat, and mat. It is also very visual with a poem to help
reinforce the connection between the letter sound and its mnemonic. One
of the lines is 'muh is for mittens'."
Carswell's son learned to
read with the program and Carswell is now using it for her grandson.
She finds the method easy to use with the toughest thing being to
remember to use the letter sound instead of the name. She finds it
enjoyable as there are many opportunities each day to encourage
literacy. "This method makes sense and with a small investment of time
we can give our preschoolers the gift of literacy."

Thanks for the review!
Dr.Nea Stewart-Dore, editor of Rotary
International's LitRAG has said
"Let me compliment you on your gently paced, logically
progressed and demonstrably concrete demonstration via video, of how you
introduce alphabetic principles/ symbol-sound relationships to early literacy
learners."

I love the way she looks at what makes sense from the child's perspective. Makes me wish I had a 3 year old again
