Quick-Dry Rainbow Salt Tray

January 11, 2023 by Sarah Leave a Comment

We all have different strengths and different needs, right? One of my strengths, I do believe, is my willingness to let my little ones get messy. It really doesn’t bother me one bit watching them slosh paint on the table, drip paintbrushes on the ground, or see those painted little hands touch freshly washed hair….

How to Learn to Write

May 25, 2022 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Are you ready for a walk down memory lane? Well, it is only my memory, so I suppose it’s more like a walk down story lane. And just to warn you, it might be a little bit of a lengthy walk. Please feel free to skip down the lane (ha!) until I get to the…

We needed to create some graphic organizers to go along with our Grade Two Literacy Curriculum, so I thought it best to make a full blog post on the topic. After all, graphic organizers are a perfect tool for young writers! I wanted to be sure you knew about them. Oh, and I also wanted…

Teach Your Child to Read Using Any Simple Story!

January 9, 2019 by Sarah 8 Comments

Can I tell you a secret? You know those dry, mundane, ‘The cat is brown. The dog is black.’ stories? I LOVE THEM. Yes, the storyline leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, the words and pictures are so predictable it can be a little (more than a little) painful. But these books can be…

Crazy Fun Ways to Teach Summer Reading!

June 14, 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Do you remember learning to read? I do … nostalgic music strumming … I was aching to learn to read. My big brother knew how. My big sis did too. But poor little Sarah was just not old enough. Or so she was told. However, across the street lived a retired teacher, who as it…

STEPPING Up the Reading!

January 6, 2018 by Sarah 2 Comments

Oh exciting things are happening in this house of ours — Sammy is starting to read. As a teacher, I just love this stage of child development. He knows all his sounds and blends and he is starting to sound out words all on his own. He is so excited about it, he is ready…

S-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g it Out to Learn to Read

March 6, 2017 by Sarah 2 Comments

Learning letters and their sounds get little ones ready to read, right? Wrong!!! (Well, that was rather abrasive and negative. I’m sorry. Please see it as passion and not negativity) Letters and sounds, letters and sounds, letters and sounds. You could find thousands of activities to practice these skills with your little ones on this…

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. Teaching rhyming to preschoolers isn’t always easy! How could this be?! I thought for…

Flying into a Letter Recognition Activity!

February 10, 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

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. I have seen students who rock at reading, and children who struggle every single day. Learning letters and their sounds are important for children….
