NAEYC conference in Anaheim!

 I had a wonderful experience at the National Association for the Education of Young Children Conference in Anaheim a couple of weeks ago! It was wonderful to meet a lot of you in person. I loved these Halloween costumes from a preschool in the Logan School District, they dressed as my characters from the Amazing Action Alphabet! What a great idea to make these characters come to life.

Using the Number Neighborhood Flip Chart!

This a demonstration of how to use the Number Neighborhood Flip Chart with your child. This book follows the same see, hear, do pattern as the Amazing Action Alphabet Flip Chart, but uses people instead of animals. Kids LOVE it and have a great time doing the actions.

 

Teaching /th/ consonant diagraph

 I love teaching the /th/ combination. It can be a memorable and fun experience with the Amazing Action Alphabet Letter Combination Book. Watch how we're using thread to help with the correct placement and sound of this particular sound. 

Teaching beginning readers how to read CVC words using a rollercoaster!

Learning how to add three-part sounds together, consonant vowel consonant words can be challenging.  Here I am using a rollercoaster to make reading for the first time more effective.

 

Teaching the letter R with the Amazing Action Alphabet

    Ahoy! Have I mentioned how much I love teaching the letter R? While introducing the name of the letter R I like to pretend I am a pirate as I pull out my eye patch and say, "This letter's name is ‘R.' The Letter R is the same sound a pirate would make, ‘arr.’" When teaching the sound of the letter R, my students love to roller-skate, like R the Rhino in Amazing Action Alphabet Flip Chart. Your children will love this too!  Just draw skates on plane pieces of paper and skate around the room making the “r-r-r” sound. I hope using these ideas brings you as much joy as it does for me!
