Numeral Flash Cards

Help your child get acquainted with numbers between 101 and 1000 by doing two, 1-minute flash sessions a day. As you flash each card, say the number out loud so your child receives the information both auditorily and visually. Two sets, sold separately: 1-100 (all the numbers between 1 and 100) and 101-1000 (random numbers between 101-100).

ABC's Licity-Split

ABC's In a Flash was designed with The Neurodevelopmental Approach in mind. Only a few letters are taught in each 2 minute session. A letter will be flashed onto the screen and identified so the child sees the letter and hears the name of the letter. This letter disappears and another letter pops up on the screen in another location. You never know where the next letter will appear so watch carefully! After several days of “input” (information going into the brain), the child can play a game (output) where he tests his memory skills on identifying the letters.

First Steps Reader

The Pathway Reader Series was designed by an Amish farming community for use in their educational programs. These basal readers are refreshingly wholesome. Each book builds on the previous reading vocabulary. In these books children are expected to obey their parents, respect their teachers, ask forgiveness when they do what is wrong, and humbly submit to the discipline of those in authority! You won't find stories dealing with the latest in videos, computers or TVs in these books. Instead the stories are centered around large families living on the farm and their interaction with each other, their animals and their neighbors. With simple typesetting and a few black-and-white sketches, these hardback books are lovely in their simplicity.

This book, used in conjunction with the "First Steps in a Flash" Computer program, will result in a confident and eager reader!

(Recomended for early readers PreK - K)
