![[AD] As most of you know, we home educate. We always have, so the kids have never been to school. Our 6 year old has just taken an interest in learning to read and so I was excited to review @the_bear_can subscription boxes.
The boxes are delivered each month and are tailored to your child’s stage. As we are just starting out we’ve gone for more basics. He learnt about the ‘oo’ and ‘oa’ sounds. Filled in several worksheets, although not so much the writing part. He needs a bit more pen control for that.
The box also contains 3 books, which he loved. In each one I asked him to read the two sight words included and several of the oo sounding words.
The box also included sheets for TWO different ‘oo’ sounds, which totally threw me! I had only known of one! Only after hours of discussions and recording voices with friends saying moon and book over and over again did we realise that it’s certain UK accents that say it differently. Up here in Scotland they both sound the same! 😂 But some other accents seem to be quite different! I can tell you that helping children learn to read is a real eye opener. The English language is crazy!! 🙈😂 Have you noticed?! #mumlife #homeeducationlookslikethis #playingislearning #childledlearning #playtolearn #homeeducation #homeschoolmama #homeschoollifestyle #homeeducationuk #homeedrocks #homeed #homeschoolersofinstagram #learningathome #homeeduk #learningisfun #lovetolearn #educationmatters

*Disclosure: This is a collaborative post. Remember when you were a young adult and things like ISAs, mortgages, interest rates and credit cards all seemed like things real grownups worried about? As we grow up, we pay very little attention to the financial side of things, we just assume that we ...
