I Need Help Teaching My 7 Year Old How to Read.

HELP!!! I am homeschooling my daughter. When it comes to reading, she is having a problem with transfering information she learns. We're using the Phonics program. As long as we're reading the books that come with the program, she reads just fine. If I take the learned words and give them back to her on 3 x 4 cards, it looks like Greek to her. My question is...are there any steps I can use to help her.

What Do You Think of the Wii?

My almost 7 year old son just told me he wants a new Lego video game. The catch is that it is for the Wii which we do not have. My boys have never been into video games (we have a V Smile that just collects dust). The wii is expensive and the games are too. Is it any good? Worth the money? What do you moms think of it and how does it compare to other game systems? I'm not a video game person so I appreciate any incite you have! Thanks!
