I have a confession to make as regards my fears. Among fear of heights, I am Katsaridaphobia (fear of cockroaches) and am also a wee bit entomophobia, i.e. fear of insects with flappy wings! I fear roaches so much that I would have bad dreams about it every now and then. Yes even at this…
These are Cass’ BM flash cards from pre-school meant for 4-year olds. From my experience with my 3 kids, I think flash cards will only be effective in teaching the child to read if the parent is involved actively too. If the child is taught flash cards in school and then in go the flash…
