Deleting Sounds to Learn to Read

March 13, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Do you know what I love? When I witness little ones overcome something that was once tricky. We all have challenges and things that don’t come easily for us. But that moment when we can once do what we hadn’t been able to do before – that is a magic moment. I just so happen…

Gross Motor Alphabet Games for Kids

These little ones of mine love to learn on the move. They like to touch things, reach and stretch, run and jump, and use all of those great big muscles they are forming (well, itty bitty muscles right now – these boys of mine are tiny!) But guess what? Learning with a whole body is…

The Great Boat Float: Teaching Rhyming to Preschoolers

February 21, 2017 by Sarah 1 Comment

A little while ago I was playing a rhyming game with my little one when I realized he really wasn’t grasping the concept of rhyming. I tried a different game, and low and behold, he wasn’t grasping it that way either. How could this be?! I thought for sure we had this rhyming thing down!…

I mentioned a little while ago how I wanted to share some of my older posts with you again and how I hoped you wouldn’t mind, and how they were really cool activities but the writing was perhaps a little off, and how sometimes I rambled (okay that clearly has not gotten any better). Well…

Beyond the Alphabet

February 7, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Without these 7 skills, children will never (never, never, never) be amazingly strong readers. (WHAT!) That is quite a claim to make! But I stand behind it wholeheartedly. I know firsthand.
