Interactive Phonics

Eugene is not the type where he will sit 'quai quai' for you to read books to him. His idea of reading to him is that you have to narrate the story in your own words,  not read out what's written.

If you read out what's written, his eyes will look here, look there and then he will refuse to look at the book.

Animations is what will hold his attention (isn't most kids?) and he had learnt a lot from kids programmes.

Now, regarding phonics, Eugene learnt his phonics from the "Leapfrog" series which are very good to hold a kid's attention 'cos got nice cartoons to portray the sounds (Thanks to "Our Baby of Love" who introduced "Leapfrog").

Then I read in some mommies forum about this website and it's really good for interactive phonics - http://www.starfall.com/

I guess most of you parents would have known about this website but I've only found out about it (ya, me slow). But for those who do not know, do check it out.
