The she tryed it on me ,But it did not work, so i ended up on the Beeno and the dandy

Re: Bedtime with Nanny.

The 27 million that this scheme is going to cost would be better used to revert to the old teaching methods......phonetics has proved to be a vastly superior system of teaching children to read.
Reading is a core skill and no other real learning can take place until a child has learned to read.
I often wonder what more I could have achieved if I had learned to read earlier.

Re: Bedtime with Nanny.

I agree, parents who will read to their kids will do so without the free books. I was given a pack a couple of years ago with a couple of free books, they had been donated to Sure start I think, anyway Ellie was already a member of the library and loves books, hopefully she always will.
