The Read it. Stamp it. Write it. pages are some fun, multi-sensory printables that I made for my kids to use to practice their spelling words. Here is what a completed page looks like: I created these pages to go along with our Spell to Write and Read curriculum and have included stamping pages for Lists A-I. Directions: Read the word in the left column. […]
I created the “Roll It. Write It.” printables for my kiddos as a fun, interactive way to help practice their spelling words! We use our Education Cubes with both printables. Occasionally we will use our Write-on. Wipe-off Dice, but the Education Cubes are hands-down more fun for my kiddos! The first printable is called Roll it. Read it. Write it. Roll the cube or dice […]
I created the Read It. Spell It. Write It. printable to go along with our Magnetic Phonogram Tiles. It is a great spelling enrichment activity that my kids enjoy using to practice their spelling words. To save on paper and ink, we laminate the page and use dry erase markers. Another option is to slide the page in a page protector. Place the page on […]

As I began to think about our homeschool curriculum plans for the upcoming 2014-2015 year, I realized that I never shared about our 2013-2014 curriculum. So, I decided to do a little recap of last year before I share our plans for the upcoming school year. Last year we continued with My Father’s World and used the Rome to the Reformation package as our base […]

So, I decided to do a RECAP of our 2010-2011 curriculum choices…you know, what we liked…didn’t like…used…didn’t end up using. So let’s start with my daughter who just finished up 2nd grade… 2nd Grade: Spelling: We used the Spell to Write and Read Core Kit. We have been […]
We use Spell to Write and Read and Cursive First and they both suggest to use a salt box to help with beginning penmanship. It is a great way to help develop and/or reinforce fine motor patterns needed for writing. Plus it is great for kinesthetic learners who may need a more tactile experience. When teaching my daughter cursive, she practiced her letters in the […]
