I was excited to receive this review product recently, thinking my 1st-grade-son could really benefit and enjoy it a lot. And I was right! He is having so much fun with this game. The Reading Game is a fast-paced memory card game using words. The game comes with 6 sets of memory cards with 6 corresponding readers. The idea is for you and your student to play memory with each set of cards (playing 6 rounds with each set), after every 2 rounds your student then reads 2 test sentences to see how he is retaining the new words he is learning. After the whole set has been played, he is then ready to read the corresponding reader...and has learned 30 new words! By the time your student has played every set of cards and read every reader, he will have learned 180 words. Of the 25 most common English words, 23 are on that list; of the 50 most common words, 42 are on that list. So this little game of reading really does prepare your student well. The readers are illustrated with cute

Hubby mentioned last night that he's HAD to wear green for the last 20 years. I didn't point out that the year he was in Kuwait he was actually in Khaki, but I thought he might go all rebellious on me and not wear green today. He did though. His button-down shirt that is an Army green color, no less.
We also had the cavatini for dinner tonight. Very yummy! I only had one that was sort of unhappy with it, which is considered a success. I have one 7x 11 pan full and just under half of a 9 x 13...still!!! It's a lot. We will definitely have leftovers tomorrow, but I don't think I can pull off having them eat it for two nights as leftovers. Next time I'll have to freeze or do it in a giveaway pan.
