Tonya,

You might try e-bay for a used copy, I suppose.

I bought a set of phonics flash-cards at Wal-Mart when my son was at that
point. It included 2 cards that reviewed the phonics rules for Mom (who
needed the refresher course), had pretty pictures on them, and were niftily
color-coded by vowels, blends, etc. The song and dance routine you have to
provide yourself, of course, but Dr. Seuss books and such can help. Total
cost: $3.50, which is good, because I didn't feel bad when I gave them away
6 months later.

You daughter might have just as much fun, if not more, with something you
dreamed up out of your own imagination!

Ooooooh....... yes
The mayor of chicago was pitching a fit today on the news!!!!!! He was
having....never mind, I thought that he was going to break some blood
vessels....
He was fussing about how parents are not doing their job be having the kids
at school on the first day of school.
He said.....It costs us our funding.....
In other words.... If the kids are absent, they don't get the money from the
state. They have to turn in their absent sheets to the state.......So, if the
kids are there, they get a certain amount and if they are not there....
they don't get the monnnneeeeeeyyyyyy....................
