Gentle, informal and flexible learning for little ones...
?A mother?s first duty to her children is to secure for them a quiet and growing time, a full six years of passive receptive life, the waking part of it for the most part spent out in the fresh air.? (Charlotte Mason)
In researching a mini-thesis on early childhood reading for an honours degree in Linguistics and English language, I learned that children need ?bottom-up? (phonetic) skills as well as ?top-down? (language and contextual) information to learn to read well.

Now, having homeschooled my five kids for nearly 10 years, I know how important it is for children to enjoy the freedom of childhood, yet not miss out on opportunities to lay the solid foundation that they will need when formal learning begins.
ABC Fun & 1-2-3 combines both of the above in an adult- & child-friendly weekly program that introduces children to the letters and sounds of the alphabet.

?There is reason to believe that the thrill the youngster finds in experimenting with the natural things about him at home is soon stifled by the distractions and regimentation of the typical school program.?
(Raymond Moore, Better Late Than Early, p172)

2. Children love stories and stories are good for kids
"Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." (Emilie Buchwald)
If your children have role models (like you), who read and enjoy books and share this joy with them, they will be eager to learn about the letters that make up the printed text in stories.
"Kids need to ...
