Teach Your Baby How to Read

I wouldn’t have thought it was possible unless I tried it with my own five children, but by starting when my babies were 6-8 months old and doing a little bit over a long period of time, I was able to teach them all how to read with very little effort and at very young […]

We Use Our Trampoline Just About Every Day!

On a whim one afternoon while shopping at Walmart, I decided to purchase a trampoline for our backyard, and it has been one of the best parenting decisions I have ever made! We are entering the third year of owning this trampoline, and I don’t think we’ve gone one day playing outside without using it. […]

As a former classroom teacher and currently a stay at home mom with five young children (Ruby-5th grade, Elliot-3rd grade, Ophelia-1st grade, Julian-Pre-K, and Jack-3 years old), I wanted to share what’s working for us as we adjust to a homeschooling schedule for the rest of the year.

26 Learning Centers for a Homeschool Preschool Environment

I love setting up an environment where my young preschool aged children (and older children as well) can be engaged in play based learning. I do this by setting up lots of little centers in every room that encourage creative and imaginative play with a little bit of skill based learning thrown in there as well. […]

How to Make Whole Wheat Sourdough Muffins

I have tried so many different recipes for sourdough bread, and I never found anything that really worked (or that I really liked) until I stumbled across this recipe and found the perfect solution!

#1-Oral Language Development Lays the Foundation for Reading

Oral language development is one of the most important aspects of a developing young child’s brain and is what lays the foundation for learning how to read. According to SEDL’s Reading Resources, oral language development is “highly correlated with later reading proficiency”.

#2-How to Engage Your Baby or Young Child with Reading

When should you start reading to your child? The answer is…right now! I mean really, you can start reading while your baby is still in the womb.

#3-Learning How to Read Begins with the ABCs

Learning the ABCs lays the foundation for all future reading skills. Memorizing letter names and letter sounds (known as phonemic awareness) at a young age is the BEST way to ensure that children are good readers down the road.

#4-Memorizing Words (Before Sounding Them Out) Leads to Reading

While teaching my own five children how to read, I have discovered that memorizing words before learning how to sound them out is a HUGE (and often overlooked) part of learning how to read.
