What Children Need to Learn to READ



If you read my earlier post, We have Found a Church!
I am so excited about that and also that we have decided to enroll Broxton into their school.
With that being said, I want to make sure he is on the right path.
Granted, we work on our colors, numbers, shapes and what not.. 
If you are a regular reader on here, you know that I love to read and want to pass that to Broxton.

The latest book I have had the chance to enjoy is What Children Need to Learn to Read.  
This book is full of information and Broxton has seemed pretty happy that I am reading it.

Chapter 1- Parent / Teacher Tips
Chapter 2 - A Children's Language Accomplishment Checklist (Birth to Age 6)
Chapter 3- A Reading Checklist for Parents
Chapter 4- Baby and Toddler Games
Chapter 5- Rhyming
Chapter 6- Music and Songs
Chapter 7- Letters and Their Sounds
Chapter 8- Sight Words
Chapter 9- Read Alouds, Listening and Comprehension
Chapter 10- Phonics
Chapter 11- Writing
Chapter 12 - Word Play
Chapter 13- Games!  Games! Games!
Chapter 14- Book Parties
Chapter 15- Beginning Readers Book Clubs
Chapter 16- Tongue Twisters

Now, Broxton is only three and no, he isn't reading yet...
But, we have fun with the different activities that they have mentioned in the book and I know as he gets older, we will have so much more fun having these activities to do!
I also think it is a great book to have to take to the grandparents house to do fun and educational activities with visits!!!!
I personally love knowing that I have this to work with Broxton on this summer as he prepares for preschool as well as throughout the year and summers ahead as we get ready for him to start big kid school.  


We have been enjoying the poems and rhyme section... Most made me totally remember when I was younger (as well as my baby brother) and it was fun to travel down memory lane while working with Broxton.  I will admit, I thought that rhyming and stuff was just to have fun with the little ones (I did know exposing them to a larger vocabulary was a good thing, so I wasn't totally out in left field!) ... it is so much more!!!
By working with poems and rhymes, they learn about other words, rhyming and how language flows... Ha!  I am learning as I try and teach!!!! 


We also received a CD of fun songs and rhymes:   What Children Need to Learn to Read Songs & Rhymes  We have not listened to it yet...  We no longer have a cd player at home and have not had it when we were in the car... No worries though, we will be listening to it soon!!!!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
