Review: Talking Shapes: A Supplemental Curriculum for Early Literacy

 Our family was thrilled to receive a one year subscription to the Online version of Talking Shapes: A Supplemental Curriculum for Early Literacy from Talking Fingers. You may remember earlier this year, we reviewed another of their products and my two boys (David-11 and Daniel -6) really loved the program.

Talking Shapes @ A Schoolhouse Review

Earlier this year we were super blessed to have the chance to review a fun program called Read, Write, and Type from Talking Fingers.  We had so much fun with this one, that when we saw they created a new one, Talking Shapes: A Supplemental Curriculum for Early Literacy, I was really eager to try it out.  This is an online version recommended for children in preschool and kindergarten.

I'm getting weirded out by my own words

I was trying to think about remembering and forgetting, because I tend to have a problem wanting opposite verba to be minimal pairs. Ha ho, ta to, etc: and that just don't work. So, because of the derivationality of my language and because most languages that work in a similar manner tend to have complicated verb formations I was thinking I would do something similar. Tširax- to stand. From vatši-foot. xax- to think Xatširax- to remember Xatagax- to forget Normally a verb like this could have a suffix added that makes it a noun. Nax- to say Nor- a word So, xatširor- a memory, right? But xor- thought, so then tširen- standing So tširenxor is a standing thought, a memory. It is the same meaning, but I wonder if the use should be different. If I add the verbal suffix to it it becomes a verb, so tširenxax- to think standing. So, I guess that is different, but because it is all encased in the verb think it is really the same as the other. Maybe it is just two different words for the same thing. Tširenxor- memory Tširenxorgax- to be memory Tširenxax- standing think Axtširax- to remember I don't know. Haha
