edit; I read this post first. So you believe she may be gifted?

Highly suspect it will turn out that way. She demands more letter sounds right now because I made the mistake of saying 's' says sssssssss the other day.

She demanded all the letter names months ago and learned them all from my putting the magnets on the fridge and naming them a few times (upper and lower case). Now she wants more. I am at a loss as to what to do with her. I really have little interest in her being overly gifted, as a school teacher I've seen the pros and cons of this and often the cons far out weigh the pros. But...she seriously demands and needs more. So I need to figure out how to meet that need for more knowledge with something that is useful and related to her current interests. This seemed like a good way to do it. Cute little graphics and songs and actions with the sounds.

I know it sounds wrong and I have my ECE it goes against everything I have every believed in raising young children. I only spend a few minutes here and there throughout the day with any type of learning lessons. My goals for her are free play and her being able to self entertain. She has an amazing ability to play make believe and go off for long periods playing with good old blocks and trains etc.
