Book of the Day

Peter H. Reynolds wrote

 an inspiring tale that celebrates the
potential for creativity, even if one
doesn't always recognize that possibility.

It's that book for anyone wishing  

to instill in children
that "imagination" is valuable,
it lies within each boy or girl.

Are there fun, effective ways
to develop phonemic awareness?  

 

Yes, indeed!  

There are strategies that make
an impact while guiding kids toward
connections between sounds, letters, and words.

 
Thanks to Dr. Andy Johnson
for explaining ways you can
implement games and tactics
that can help young children.    

These simple activities boost

skills supporting preschool, kindergarten,

Book of the Day

Youngsters  will enjoy Amelia Bedelia, 

the literal-minded housekeeper! 

When she makes a sponge cake, 

Amelia uses real sponges.
When she weeds the garden,
she "replants" the weeds. 

And when she pitches a tent, 

Amelia throws it into the woods!

Read out loud to children!

It can create a positive

attitude toward books,

helps the ability to write,

and connects kids to literature.
