A few months back (where does time go???), I shared some lowercase printing sheets I made for my dyslexic kiddo. I finally got around to finishing the uppercase sheets! This summer, I'm planning to make him some cursive sheets, so sign up for my email list if you want to be notified! Maybe they ...

Digital Dotted Notebook
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!For the past few years, I have been trying to go paperless. I converted my paper planner to a digital planner. I started using my phone to make digital versions of documents to save in Evernote. Everything from water bills to my kids' drawings. One of the big remaining sources of paper in my life is ...
Lowercase Printing Sheets
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!A couple of my kiddos have a tendency to write their letters bottom to top. One of them, who is dyslexic, also sometimes writes his letters right to left. In the long run, do I think it's really going to matter if they never outgrow these habits? Not really. I think they'll be fine. However, I think ...
Fun Ways to Use Wall Letter Posters
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!It is the end of an era. My youngest child finally knows his alphabet well enough that these homemade wall letter posters no longer make sense to display in my home as if we were a full-time preschool. Before I take them down, I thought I would share some of the ways these wall posters have worked ...

I also did not ...

Alphabet Star Charts
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!When I made a multiplication star chart for my 8 year old and a sight word star chart for my 6 year old, I didn't want my 3 year old to feel left out.

Sight Word Star Charts
This site uses affiliate links. I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!My 6 year old is so excited to read. With my oldest, I never really made a big deal about sight words. At 8 years old, his spelling might not be the best, but he learned all the standard sight words just through reading. I don't think there's anything wrong with using this "organic exposure ...
