Help Your Child Read Two-Vowel Words

Does your child need help learning to read two-vowel words? Check out this cute video from the PBS Kids show, "Between the Lions" for an explanation of the the two-vowel rule. Be sure to explain though that the two vowels don't always have to be next to each other too though in order to make the "long" sound.

Too Much Poop

Is it just me, or are ALL the PBS Kids shows talking about "poop" too much?

In the past week (or so) I've seen a Dinosaur Train show on poop as well as a Fetch with Ruff Ruffman about poop too.  Then to top it off, a recent Family Fun magazine I got in the mail had the word "poopologist" on the back, and don't you know the kids saw it.  I mean, come on people! I know the stuff is "interesting" but dedicating shows to the subject matter is a little weird in my opinion. Now my kids are walking around the house talking way too frequently about poop. Oh well, maybe it will wear off in a few days!

Even though I'm a bit miffed by the show's concepts, I gotta love THAT they're teaching important science concepts!
