Did a long flight with the kids that was exhausting but could've been a lot worse. Been working on teaching reading but she keeps forgetting the sounds for letters and its frustrating for both of us. I have to keep reminding myself there's no hurry while balancing out my expectations.
She does great with a lot of the letters but whenever we see 'M' its "I dunno"
So, in the district I work in, the pre-k / K / 1st grade classes use an app called Teach Your Monster To Read. I put it on my iPad at home, and my kiddo really enjoys playing it (she's 4). Mostly, she enjoys making the monsters, which is frankly good because she ends up repeating the first section of the app pretty regularly. It teaches her letter sounds and eventually tries to onboard her into pronouncing words. That part hasn't been very successful, but again, she's 4. Definitely play it with them, as some of the "games" can be tricky.

I've been using the app Anki to teach my kids to speak more. It's a flashcard app so it could easily be adapted to learning to read as well
