Printable Fall Reading Journal for Second Grade
Reading is a huge part of our homeschooling experience. I’m a bookworm and nothing would make me happier than to raise four little bookworms of my own. In second grade, one of the objectives is for children to learn to retell the main idea and details of a story. So I put together a printableKeep Reading…
4 Easy Ways to Encourage Free Reading with Active Kids
We all know that reading is (probably) the most important skill a child should learn. Without reading, you can’t really do, well, anything.

Harry the Dirty Dog Printables for Kids
My kids absolutely love the classic storybook “Harry the Dirty Dog”. We’ve read it so many times that I’m pretty sure they can recite it by heart. Backwards. Reading the story is a wonderful way to practice early literacy and to spend some storytime with the kids, but I wanted to add a few story extensionKeep Reading…
Printable Rhyming Literacy Puzzles for Kids
My little one has taken to reading much quicker than I imagined. I hoarded so many books for learning to read with the specific intention of using them with her.

31 Beautiful African American Story Books for Kids
As a mom to four African American children, I’ve been hard pressed to find great kids’ books that feature black characters (at least in our local library).

We have a very active little one in our family. She’s running around learning everything she possibly can. But, because she’s so excited about what’s she learning to do, getting her to settle down for bed has become a bit of problem. Every time I walk her into her room at night, she says “IKeep Reading…
Winter Sight Words Flashcards
Winter is quickly approaching and it’s a great time to introduce our newest set of sight word printables: Winter Sight Words Flashcards! Learning sight words is a big part of preschool education.

Fall Sight Words Flashcards
Are you in the fall mood yet? We had our first actual cool weather day here yesterday and it was wonderful. I put on my favorite sweater, walked out the door, and enjoyed a hot coffee.
