Give your Kindergartner a head start!

http://www.teachwithme.com/images/stories/aKindergarten%20Dolch%20WC's.pdfSight words are words that should be read automatically without sounding each part out.  Sight words are in every text that we encounter! Teach your child their kindergarten sight words prior to entering school. This will give your child confidence and put them a step ahead in reading!

Use What Your Kids Love...to Teach

Embrace technology...

Download apps that not only engage your child or student, but teach them (without them even realizing it!)
