    True story. During the last few wild and unpredictable years, the kids and I both fell hard for Pokemon Go.

    Take the 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge

    June 21, 2021 /

    When I was a child I could spend hours upon hours reading. I consumed novels in the summer as if they were food and they kind of were. In summer as a child I had all the time in the world just to read. In school, I loved a good reading challenge too. Summer Slump This summer, when the kids are home you can encourage their love of reading with this cute little 1,000 Minute Reading Challenge.

    Spring Writing Prompts for Early Language Arts Literacy

    March 3, 2021 /

    When I was a child I was all about early language arts and what they called reading and writing back then. So, I would have loved these early spring writing prompts. I devoured books and collected words and started stories often. Growing Kids Who Love Reading and Writing From the moment I was old enough to hold a crayon, I was always building stories. I didn’t necessarily need the writing prompts, or any prompts but if my teacher or my Mom had given me a pretty project sheet like this I would have been all over it. This spring I have a lot of fun free printable worksheets for you…

    Five Easy Ways to Encourage a Reluctant Reader to Read

    February 26, 2020 /

    I had a super reluctant reader. It was kind of devastating to watch her struggle with learning to read because reading and writing are my favourite things and it’s also how I make a living. But, my one girl did not do well. Her processing speed is slower due to a few things such as FASD (fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) and ADHD symptoms of hyperactivity and so she struggled decoding language and making it work. She has several diagnoses and school can be harder for her than it is for some other kids. So instead of literally and figuratively beating our heads against the wall trying to teach her, we…

    Sports All About Me Book for Young Child

    February 23, 2019 /

    There are many ways to get kids involved in learning. An All About Me Book can be a great way to get them to work through some early identity issues. Things like who is in my family and how old am I are very important, especially when starting preschool or kindergarten. This Sports All About Me Book is intended to help. With my kids sometimes when they are struggling I ask them – “Hey who is on your team? ” “Mom is.” And then they list the people on their team. Sometimes it’s grudgingly, but often by the end of the conversation they’re reminded there are people that will always…

    Embracing Art with DK Canada #Giveaway #ad

    November 6, 2017 /

    Embracing art is a great way to expand our children’s horizons. The arts are an important part of mental stimulation. Participating in the arts or just appreciating them activates different parts of the brain from other forms of education interaction, and it’s really quite beautiful. My oldest daughter is an artist, and she’s always buried in either her sketch pad or an art book. She’s been taking a lot of art courses, so I thought a few books from DK Canada would encourage her love of art and make embracing art a continued part of her daily life.
