memory

This was the first time we played memory.  This game is so versatile...you can use numbers, colors, pictures, and the list goes on.  We matched words.  No, Stella can't read, but letter recognition and tracking words are all small steps in the process.  So....we talked about the letter sounds (although the /c/ sound is tough).  She turned over the word "cute" several times and said, "oh, sweet..this says sweet, and that says sweet!"  :)
