[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 553404, member: 1514"] Malika...if he were in the states he would be in Kindergarten. Here in order to be in first grade you have to turn 6 by either the end of September of October 15th I think. Never December. My boys were very young 6 year olds in 1st grade and they were born in July. We struggled with Keyana in preK learning her letters. I dont know about K because she wasnt with us. I think she took until later in the fall before she got it down well. I think I remember taking French well enough to know that the letters make somewhat similar sounds. I took French in HS and actually won the French spelling bee but I have forgot about everything I ever knew. I know the letters at least look the same. I have fridge magnets from Leapfrog that Keyana used and now Kenzie is starting to use them. She loves putting the letters in the little holes and hearing it go C C every letter in the alphabet has an name and C says Ca. She will wander around and go Ca ca ca ca ca for a few minutes. Do I think she recognizes the letter C? No. I just think she is starting to realize that things make sounds. leapfrog has a bunch of stuff. they have a cool thing called Tag Jr which might be at his speed but you would need to find out if they have it in french unless you want to teach it in English first and then have him transfer over. That might be easier for him...I have no idea. Tag Jr is a great program. I bought it for Hailie when she was 2 and I got Tag for Keyana when she was 5. If I could find Keyana's old Vreader I would send that to you but I dont know what happened to it. [/QUOTE]
