I just read a really cool tip for making TV more educational. Turn on the closed captioning so they read along with the show. I never thought about this, but I think it's a brilliant idea. That doesn't mean that Ashley will get to watch TV all day, but at least it will reinforce her reading skills as she watches TV. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Not sure how she did it, as it took me a long time to figure out how to turn it on.
