Sagan's Learning to Play Go Fish

I was in Walgreens the other day and found an Alphabet Go Fish game that I knew Sagan would love. So I purchased it and we play at least 2x a day.

Sagan is not ready, quite yet, to learn to read. She lacks the patience that Ellie had. So I don't push. She still has 2 years of preschool left. She is a November birthday which will put her into kindergarten at 5 year 9 months. Ellie went in at 5 years 4 months. Those extra 5 months will help Sagan be ready.

We are lucky that Sagan is going to be in the Voluntary Pre K program in school this fall. Well she will be a paying member its free if you are 4. She wont get the free program till 2011. Which is just fine by me. She will be with Ellie's former teacher Ms. Jacqui. Sagan will learn everything a kindergartner must know for reading readiness this coming school year. The following year she will take the class again as a VPK 4 year old. So I know that Sagan will learn all of her letters and learn basic reading skills staring in late August. If Sagan were going to kindergarten in the fall of 2011 I would be starting her word wall immediately.

So playing Go Fish is fun for her. She knows just a few letters but the game will enable her to learn them in a fun way.
