![]() ![]() My six-year-old said her favorite was the talking books. (This is how they moved from one page to the next on the iPad.) The color songs were something else these two enjoyed. They loved watching the videos of each letter, and clicking on the letter when it shone. My two-year-old and four-year-old mainly used the alphabet games. I had six different kids use this product in some way. My kids were always eager to play the games, and most of the time didn’t even realize they were practicing important skills. ![]() We used Starfall content as a supplement to language arts and math. How Did We Use the Starfall Home Membership? Some of this content is accessible free of charge with the classic Starfall, which is what my kids used to play. There are games, songs, stories, and more. The activities focus on math and language arts for preschool through first grade, and math for second grade. ![]() My family accessed the content from an iPhone, iPad, and laptop. All the kids can use the content, and it can be accessed from multiple devices once you authorize them. With The Starfall Home Membership, I received an annual membership to the interactive content on Starfall. So when I had the chance to review The Starfall Home Membership from Starfall Education Foundation, I was excited! As they grew and developed new interests, I sort of forgot about it. As a matter of fact (a tiny tidbit from SOS), she was one of Princess Elia's lady companions in King's Landing, in the first few years after Elia married Rhaegar.When my middle kids were younger, they loved playing Starfall reading games on the computer. And boats (though not many of their own). I will give you this much, however Ashara Dayne was not nailed to the floor in Starfall, as some of the fans who write me seem to assume. needless to say, All Will Be Revealed in Good Time. Not to mention the colors of everybody's eyes.Īs to your speculations about Catelyn and Ashara Dayne. With such a huge cast of characters, just keeping track of the =years= drives me half mad sometimes. I do intend to publish a timeline as an appendix in one or other of the later volumes, but even when I do, I am not certain I'm going to start detailing things down to months and days. ![]() probably closer to eight or nine months or thereabouts. It is always a balancing act, since I want the chapters to have a certain dramatic flow, I worry about certain storylines being forgotten if they are "off stage" too long, and there is a constant tug of war between character time and reader time (a character may have two chapters, taking place one day apart, but if two hundred pages of stuff about other characters separate those two chapters, the reader is going to perceive a long timeĪs having passed, even if I begin the second chapter with, "When he woke up the very next morning."Īll of which is a long winded way of saying, no, Jon was not born "more than 1 year" before Dany. And then just when I have it exactly right, my editors weigh in from both sides of the Atlantic, each suggesting a slightly different chapter order. You would not believe how often I reshuffle the chapters, trying to find the one true perfect sequence. I will confess, the chronology of these books sometimes gives me fits. I see what you're driving at here, I guess. I will spare you the rest of my speculations about the date of Jon's birth, since their only real conclusion is that Catelyn seems a little thick when she thinks that Ned fathered Jon as he returned 'Dawn' to Ashara Dayne.Īh. Now, if this was after Jon's chapter - and (apparent) name day, it could be concluded, that Jon was born more than 1 year before Dany, and at least 3 months before Queen Rhaella left King's Landing. Dany's 14th name day was at the end of her chapter, on the far side of the Dothraki sea. In his first chapter at the Wall, Jon reflects that his name day passed a fortnight before. I'm trying to figure out how Jon's day of birth fits in the timeline of the war, and assumed you wouldn't just tell me when he was exactly born.:-) ![]()
