Welcome!

This is the beginning of a blog where I plan to share quality teaching ideas and resources for little learners.  I hope to provide you with valuable information and some exclusive free resources to help you in your journey as an educator.  

To begin, I have created a sight word game as a thank you for stopping by.  To receive your free copy (pictured below) please subscribe to this blog by entering your email address in the toolbar to your right.  

Please note that in order to receive the resource you MUST CONFIRM your subscription by clicking "Yes, subscribe me to this list" on the auto-respond email.  Due to anti-spam regulations I am unfortunately unable to  send the resource without first receiving your subscription confirmation.  It will however be automatically sent to you within an hour of your subscription confirmation.  If you have any issues please email me or comment below. 


 "Roll It, Read It, Use It & Spell It!" is a 2-4 player game featuring all of the Dolch sight words.  It is suitable for Kinder through to 3rd grade students and can be easily differentiated by selecting cards appropriate to each groups level.  

 Speaking of sight words, I wrote a guest blog post earlier today on "Who's Who and Who's New?" which details "6 Mistakes You Can Make When Teaching Children to Read".  I hope you find it insightful.  

 Enjoy and thanks again for stopping by!

    Wendy, you have the prestige of being the first person to post a comment on my new blog!

    I can't take any credit for the design work (as much as I'd like to). Laura at Whimsy Clips created my logo whilst Christ designed the blog. They are both very talented ladies :-)

    Thanks for stopping by,

      Lucy!

      I'm so pleased you dropped by! This is something I should have done months ago, however I wanted to do a lot of research first so that I could (try) to get it right. Please stop by when your blog is up and running so that I can subscribe - I'm sure it will be wonderful.

      Thanks for reading and commenting - I appreciate you taking the time,


      Lisa

      Thank you so much Liz!

      The post has received thousands of hits but very few comments (which kind of makes me nervous!). I'm delighted to hear that you liked it.

      I have lots of ideas for posts, I just need to find the time to get them all down :-)

      Thanks for stopping by!
