Review: A Whole Bunch of Feelings

Hands down the best book I have found for teaching different feelings and how to handle them for young kids. We got this with our Timberdoodle kit and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone. Our daughter was a late talker so this has really helped her with expressing how she is feeling and how she handles her feelings. There is a wide variety of feelings in this book. Each has a short paragraph giving an example of the feeling. What I found amazing was after the explanation they have a question related to the feeling. It gave us a great intro to further discuss the feelings and a way to teach our daughter how she could act in different situations.

The illustrations are quite nicely done and easy on the eyes with the colors they chose. I like that the descriptions of each feeling are not overbearing for a child. They explain each one in a way that even a young child could easily understand what the feelings are. After reading about each feeling we talked about a time that she might have felt that way and a possible solution if the situation called for it. It is such a great way to bond with your child while teaching and reading to them at the same time. We have used other things for going over emotions but I really enjoyed teaching them with this book. Do you have a book your child and you really like?

Review: All About Reading Level 4

We have officially reached the summit of All About Reading Level 4 , and I am currently accepting trophies, high-fives, and perhaps a very large latte. If you had told me a few years ago that we’d be tackling "anomalous phonetic structures" and "loanwords" without a total household meltdown, I would have assumed you were hallucinating. Yet, here we are, and I am officially a fan-girl for All About Learning Press. This final level is essentially the "Black Belt" of literacy instruction, diving into the deep end of the linguistic pool with a level of clarity that is frankly miraculous. The curriculum tackles those treacherous "borrowed" words that usually make the English language look like it was put together in a blender. As a dyslexic educator teaching a fellow dyslexic, I’ll be entirely transparent: I encountered phonetic principles in these four levels that were completely absent from my own public school experience. I was basically learning ...

Review: Djeco Pompom Pictures - All Aboard

Djeco Pompom is a super cute and easy art craft for toddlers. They just put the pompoms on the corresponding dots. I like that it comes with all the pompoms you need. However, the glue stick they give you doesn’t make the pompoms sticks to the board. I tried regular glue and that didn’t work either so I ended up having to use a hot glue gun. So, I suggest having hot glue if you get this. There are small circles on the boards to let you know what color pompom goes where so it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kit does come with a small manual that it done with pictures so even your little one can look at the manual and understand which pompoms go on which board.

Review: A to Z Board Book

In our household, literature is the cornerstone of early education, so we began our daily reading rituals when our daughters were mere infants. While our shelves are currently burgeoning with an eclectic array of alphabet primers, the A to Z Board Book has secured a particularly prestigious position in our rotation. As the name suggests, this is a board book—a vital feature for anyone navigating the "destructive" phase of toddlerhood. My youngest has a penchant for paper shredding that would rival a high-end office machine, so the sturdy construction of a board book is a non-negotiable necessity. However, because this is a "lift-the-flap" volume, I maintain a strict "supervised access only" policy to ensure the flaps remain attached to their respective pages. We have integrated this book into our daily school routine, as it offers a multifaceted sensory experience. My daughter is currently enchanted by the interactive elements, relishing the opportunity ...
