      Depends on how old your child is and how much you willing

      to invest in these pre-writing and pre-reading materials for
      your child. Did you mention how old your child was or did i
      actually forget?[quote]

        Hi Buds


        Sori, i was referring to switching him to letterland, not leapfrog..
        How is the letter L and F pronounced in montessori?
        He is learning phonics in school where they teach him \"L\" pronounced as \"Ler\", completely different from leapfrog. i wonder which is the correct one?

        buds:
        Uhmm? :?

        I dunno if i understand you correctly...
        You mentioned you just purchased a Leapfrog Phonics DVD.
        Then at the last part you mentioned uhhmm switching to Leapfrog?
        Ermm.. i was wondering why you were referring to the same thing?
        Please correct my blurness.. :?:

        I'd be happy to assist you with the pronunciation part if you'd share
        with me which are the sounds you have doubts about. Currently, which
        Phonics methodology is your child learning? Is it from his school or the
        one you're reinforcing at home with him?

          Me too... SAHM, i mean. 😉

          Okie, roger that spring.. I got
          loads of DIY. :evil: Especially
          to provide support for my
          fellow SAHMs and SAHDs.

          And do bring down the knowledge
          to nannies, maids or grandparents
          wherever possible. Especially if they
          are the main caregivers... They can
          provide indirect reinforcement when
          you're not around.. 😉

            The single letter sound of \"l\" is pronounced as lingering \"l\" sound,
            when you press the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth,
            at the soft gum space behind your 2 front teeth.. It should sound
            like the one in Starfall. > http://www.starfall.com/n/level-k/letter-l/load.htm?f

            It should make the same sound at the end of the word ball... doll.... sell...
            If it's pronounced as \"ler\", then when we drag the sounds of d...o...l...l...
            you would get dol-ler? :shock: So, soft lllll... sound, okie sunset_dae. 😄

                  Hey buds,

                  Thanks so much. I have ordered e alphabet song & flashcard, wil be collecting them soon. I will be looking forward to ur reply.... v eager to receive my letterland products. Hope tat i can succeed in teaching her all the letter sound, and even to e more progressive stage.Or mayb in times to come...i will jus send her for a phonic enrichment which wil be much easier. But i am more keen to teach her on my own if i can, you & tamarind had given me alot of inspiration. Thanks so much...

                    starting your learning aid collection, aye.. 😉

                    Would you like to share with everyone where
                    you bought your Letterland products, in case
                    there are any parents who might be interested
                    as well...? 😎 And i suppose, most importantly...
                    how much? Hehee.. 😄

                    For stay-home-parents, every cent counts. 😉

                      Actually before i purchase letterland product, I had tried other products like leapfrog dvd as i hav heard lots of gd review on this dvd, but i find tat my dd is nt very interested to watch. So now i wld like to try another approach, n i came to know abt letterland thru this thread, it has lots of songs and stories and i tot my gal might like it as now she loves to sing songs and listen to stories!

                      Thanks for the encouragement buds 😄
                      I purchase my letterland items from letterland distributor. His name is Francis. Can call him @ 90081997. I bought e alphabet songs cd and flashcard at $45.
