Review: My Very First Body Book

Usborne Books & More has such amazing book for kids and My Very First Body Book is one of them. We got this book to go with our Timberdoodle curriculum. It has so much information presented in a perfect way for kids. I did 1 spread every week so it wasn’t overwhelming. What I like about this book is that it’s colorful and has fun pictures for kids so they are engaged in the learning process. It goes over so many things for young kids; eating properly, body parts, pumping blood, etc.

I love when I can use a book and show our daughter in real life what the book is talking about. There is a section talking about how your body heals when you have a cut and we were able to see in real life how our cut heals. The end of the book shows life stages and how we start off in our mama’s tummy then we go from baby-kid-adult-elderly. It gives a little about the stages of life and our daughter has decided I am an elderly person because I get weak and need help sometimes. I was able to turn that into a lesson on how some people don’t have the best health but if she takes care of her by eating healthy and exercising she can stay strong.

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 ...
