They are Norah's favorite part of the school day, Developing the Early Learner Books 1, 2, 3, and 4. The books came with our curriculum, Sonlight's Core P4/5, but they are also available for individual sale. We are almost through the first book now, doing a page or two a day. They have unique activities in them, not just your typical workbook exercises. Our favorite is when I have set a timer, call out a set of directions such as "Color the bulb yellow. Color the umbrella red." That's when I start the timer and Norah has to wait until it beeps to do what I said, remembering the directions for a whole minute before she has to do them. It can be pretty tough, especially if she spends the minute chatting with me instead of concentrating on what she has to do.
