I have a pretty strong negative reaction to the idea of deliberately holding my child back so they’re less bored when around kids who aren’t as skilled.
I’d much rather handle that problem in some other way.
Seems good! I wasn’t really trying to do letters with my younger one until he had more words. Starting with letter sounds and playing with magnet letters or letter blocks is a good way to get them interested.
I have now posted a couple decodable books on my website, here: https://tigrennatenn.neocities.org/decodable_books/ I expect to add more now that I’ve got a setup for making them digitally.
A great thing about Seuss is how well it scans. It’s stunning to me how many children’s books have truly awful meter. The whole point is to make it easy to read! They just don’t even bother!
Oh wow, that is good to know. I tried experimenting with the font options and found that xx-large wasn’t nearly big enough, I didn’t realize I could just put “200px” in as the size and have that actually work. Awesome! I’ll have to play with this more (assuming I don’t get complaints about the cards not all being hand-drawn anymore, lol).
I definitely was not expecting a co-maintainer of Ankidroid to read this post, wow!! Thanks for uh, doing that!
He has not! I haven’t examined that one for full decodability but it’s probably pretty good. We might try it sometime.
Yes, I think it’s true that NYC is overrepresented—plus there are significant gaps in the Bay programs posted so those are underrepresented. I’ve at least biased it towards songs that I personally like more which is probably more towards Bay-ish and away from NYC-ish.
