If you don't follow her already, make sure you do. She shares fabulous ideas and amazing products!


I love, Love, LOVE her "Stamp It" pack!

First of all....ALL little kids love stamps. I have yet to meet one child who doesn't.
This 44 page pack is SO engaging and fun. It's perfect for a word work center and includes a variety of pages to keep your kiddos busy! AND this will definitely help them strengthen their fine motor skills without even knowing it!

Kimberly included 35 different "Trace It! Stamp It! Write It!" pages; 26 of which are different word family pages, and the rest are sight words.

She also included ABC stamp pages, beginning and ending sounds, and missing vowel pages. Seriously you guys, this pack is fabulous!

My adorable 7-year-old Niece and 4-year-old Nephew came to town for Thanksgiving and when I asked them if they'd want to do this with me they were so excited!!

 We started out with the Trace it, Stamp it, Write it pages. My Niece worked on this one and she loved it!

Then we decided to switch it up a little bit. I laminated a few pages and then they used playdough to stamp the letters, and a dry erase marker to trace and write it!

This is my barely-turned-4-year-old nephew! Didn't he do a great job!? My sister told me that he hasn't learned his lowercase letters yet, and look how good he wrote them!
Proud Aunt....right here! :)

There are 2 different ABC pages included. One completely blank and one with missing letters:

My nephew also worked on the beginning sound page and rocked it!

My sweet niece had fun with the ending sound page:

And last, but not least, the middle vowel pages.
She wrote on one page with pencil:

Playdough stamped another page:

And then wrote with a dry erase marker:

There are so many different ways that you can use these pages!
Normal stamps, playdough stamps, dry erase markers, pencils....you could even use magnetic letters, letter tiles or letter stamp markers!

The possibilities are endless, and all the different variations will definitely keep your students engaged and loving life!

"Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" with a Freebie and Giveaway!

What child doesn't LOVE beads!?!

Why not incorporate beads into a fun literacy center for your students?

That's what I've done with my latest "Read it, Bead it, Type it, Wipe it" packs!

READ IT

First, your students will select a card and place it on their mat. They must determine the beginning sounds of each picture on the card to figure out each word. 


BEAD IT

Next, students will use letter beads to bead the word on their mat. You can use any kind of letter bead that you want but my favorite are from Roylco. The letter is the actual bead so there is no chance of it ever rubbing off like other beads might.

I bought mine from Amazon. You can click the picture above to check them out! They come in both uppercase and lowercase. Right now I only have the lowercase set, but I'm sure I'll invest in the uppercase set soon too!


TYPE IT

Then, students will type the word on the ipad and write it a total of 3 separate times. They can also color in the letters on the keyboard with their dry erase marker.


WIPE IT

Last, students will clear their board and erase the ipad in preparation for the next word.

Each pack includes 4 different boards to choose from so you can use the ones that are best for your students.

They also include 4 different recording sheets to help both you and your students keep track of which words they've completed

I have made packs for each Dolch Sight Word list and
they're on sale right now!!
(Click each picture to go to my store to check them out)

 AND if you like saving money, like me, then you can also get them in a few different bundles!

I'm also going to make holiday/season versions of these packs throughout the year.

I was thinking that you'd probably like to try a sample pack....which is why I'm giving all of my sweet readers this Halloween Freebie version! It will only be FREE for a week, then it will change to be a priced product.

Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen events with my family earlier this month, I'm posting this a lot later than planned. I know I'm cutting it close to Halloween, but hopefully you'll still be able to squeeze it into your plans for next week!

Just click on the picture below to download!

And last, but definitely not least, would you like to win a copy of the BIG BUNDLE!?
