    Common Sight Words Printable – Kindergarten to Grade One

    August 24, 2017 /

    If your children are about to start school, or are working towards entering grade one soon then this post is for you. Sight words are the most frequently printed and written words in the English language. They are generally simple words, ranging from Little to TO, to Down, THE, and of course AND. There are several of these sight words and the sooner children grasp and recognize them the easier it is to read.   I think I mentioned this before here once or twice. My younger daughter had some trouble figuring out reading. The decoding didn’t come easy for her and the processing part just made her frustrated. That…

    Empower Kids with These Two Great Books

    January 23, 2017 /

    It’s important to empower kids. As parents and adults in general, it’s our job to help today’s youth grow up to be confident, well-adjusted members of society. One of the ways we do that is to empower kids by nurturing creativity and self esteem. I’m a big believer in this, and recently a couple of books that do just that caught my eye. Empower Kids with Learning and Creativity Although these books are quite different, their outcome is the same. They empower kids to use their minds and teach them that any goal that they set for themselves is achievable. While one book does this in a fairly straightforward fashion…

    Christmas Bookmarks Printable

    November 17, 2016 /

    So what are you reading? Right now I am reading Karma Brown’s second novel, The Choices We Make. It’s a page turner. Are your kids huge readers like mine are? Need some cute and festive Christmas bookmarks then? My kids love books and we are always scrounging for bookmarks so here are some festive Christmas bookmarks for you.   My youngest is actually all about the books and my older daughter whips through books so quick, it’s not economical to buy them. I know that sounds weird but last year I bought her a novel she wanted and by 1 p.m. Christmas Day she finished reading it. So that seemed…

    Next Issue Canada – Get Your Magazine Fix #NextIssueCA

    June 30, 2015 /

    I love magazines. I love to read magazines. I love to write for magazines. It’s a love/love relationship. That’s why I’m excited about Next Issue Canada. Next Issue Canada lets me get my magazine fix without lugging around a massive stack of heavy magazines. I love that, because, frankly, my shoulder gets tired! Next Issue Canada – Magazine Magic I’ve always been a big reader, but magazines have always been the most fun for me. I love everything about them. From the stories, to the pictures, to the ads, magazines make me happy. What doesn’t do it for me is how heavy and unwieldy a stack of magazines can be.…

    Kid’s Happy Easter Bookmarks Printable

    April 1, 2015 /

    Happy Easter! If you are sharing some books with your children, or your grandchildren, nieces or nephews this Easter, then don’t forget the bookmarks too. I made these Kid’s Happy Easter Bookmarks for you to share. If you are at all like we are, then you are always hunting for a bookmark. Why is it always impossible to find one? Actually true story here. My older daughter was gifted a phone plan (she already had the phone but it wasn’t connected) last summer for her birthday. This March the phone went missing in a house full of readers and crafters. So, you know we have lots of books and crafty…

    Easter Bookmarks Free Printable

    March 22, 2015 /

    If you are at all like me, then you want to take some time each weekend to carve out an hour or two for reading. It is such a wonderful weekend hour or two when you find yourself lost in a good book. But, at the same time life calls and there are so many things to do every weekend. So you only ever get so far and then need time to finish up all the rest of the things that are on that to do list. Bookmarks sometimes save the day. I am forever losing my bookmarks. The kids do the same thing. What is it about a bookmark…

    Get Your Little Ones Reading with This Cute Kid’s Bookmarks Printable

    February 20, 2015 /

    The truth about my kids is that they take after me – a lot. I am a big book lover and I read voraciously. It’s one of my favourite pastimes. Words make me happy. They cheer me up and inspire me. They help me to feel, and they motivate me to act, and even encourage me to continue writing. Practice, after all, makes perfect. My kids happily also love to read. Love of reading is something I have always worked hard on nurturing in each of the girls. We often each have multiple books on the go. And oddly we also are very similar in this one way – none…

    Madame Picasso Paris 3 DVD Prize Pack Worth $75

    September 25, 2014 /

    (When this book arrived here late in August you can imagine the kid’s comments.) Madame Picasso is a pageturner and a well written tale that is thoroughly enjoyable. I haven’t had a lot of time lately to read or review books here. Time has been at a premium, but the moment I picked this one up and read the first line, well that was it. Anne Girard is a skillful storyteller and she weaves a truly captivating story here. It is rare that I am drawn in by a character instantly. Eva Gouel is memorable and charming and a character you empathize with immediately. That’s exactly what I want from…

    How Do You Keep them Reading All Summer? #Summerslide #giveaway

    June 14, 2014 /

    If school is almost out for summer then it’s time to start thinking about summer slide too. Oh don’t worry I am not suggesting that you spend every waking moment of the summer concerned about school. But, take a few moments now and plan ways you can help them avoid summer slide. Then the sailing is easy for the rest of the summer. What are you up to this summer? School is almost out here. Now what’s next? We have some camps scheduled and some great travel opportunities and I am pretty happy for the warm weather to finally get here. We will be spending a lot of afternoons in…
