***************Helpful Hints for vocabulary***********
Techy hints for Making Vocabulary Easy:
Do you want to use your car ride to reinforce vocabulary words while still having time left over for conversation with your kids. It is easy to do:
1. Go the following website:
2. Select Level D iWords audio
3. Select the lessons. (I suggest downloading all of the lessons - yes you have to do it one at a time)
4. Once all lessons have been downloaded - insert a DVD disk into CD disk burner and select the lesson files you just downloaded that are now on your hard drive
5. Print out a copy of the words and keep it in the car with the CD
Hint: Make sure you have the files on your hard drive in the order you want them to be copied to the DVD. Each audio lesson is about 10 minutes.
