Lesson Plan - Letter "J"

We're going to be changing up our homeschool schedule a bit.  We are going to be focusing on learning to read using the book Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons

We are still going to be working on a letter each week, because I really like how that format is working for us.  We'll be working on Sissy's confidence to speak into a microphone.  She gets extremely nervous and doesn't like to comment during the meetings.  So I purchased a little microphone at the Dollar Tree and plan on covering a few paragraphs of study material each day. 

Here's our "lesson plan" for letter "J"
