Teach Your Child To Read

We were hoping to expand this site very quickly but things have overtaken us a bit in the last couple of weeks. My daughter was taken ill a week and a half ago and had to be taken home from school. Two days later and with a very high temperature she was taken to the health centre and they sent her straight to the hospital. She has now been in there for 8 days with bacterial pneumonia on a antivirus drip. They discounted swine flu after two days in an isolation ward but her lungs were still congested.

Now she should be out on Monday and later in the week we will be able to start updating the site but here in Spain the parent stays with the child at all times in the hospital and acts as the nurse would in the UK so between myself and my husband Graham if we have not been in the hospital we have been at home looking after the other little one and acting as a taxi for the older one.

So back to normal next week with more information and a great announcement about the upcoming membership area of the site which for a nominal fee of $5 per month is going to include interviews with teachers telling how they work with children to help them read, the online sight words reading course, regular product reviews and discounts, book recommendations and offers and a whole lot more. And you know what, the first month is going to be free or just one dollar for trying it out.

Thanks for your understanding

Lynne
