Great list! Thanks for sharing my syllable rules post š

You’re very welcome! It’s brilliant! š
Wow! Thanks for all your resources and ideas. I love using them. Where do you find the resource (or the name of it) in your image where the child is using letters to make the word cat and then changing it to can. This is something I have been wanting to do with my daughter!
That activity is called “Just Swap 1” and you can find the short a board pictured here–> https://thisreadingmama.com/short-a-word-families-reader-and-activities/ I more for other vowels, too, in each review lesson of Learn to Read.
Thanks a lot. Your efforts are immeasurable. I am glad for this plethora of resources.
Great resource! Thanks for putting this together!
Thank you.
This is phenomenal! I love your page. It definitely lives up to its name: it is really The ULTIMATE. Congratulations!
Aw, thanks!! š
You are amazing! Thank you so much for putting these resources together, and for sharing with the world. You have inspired me to share things I have made–we all need to work together!!
I agree! That’s why I started blogging. I missed the sharing of ideas from when I used to teach in the classroom!
This is amazing!! Thank you so much!
These are wonderful resources! Thank you so much for putting them together and for keeping them free in order to help so many!
Wow! What great resources. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing all of the wonderful things you create. I am a long time follower and love when I get the e-mails about new blog posts! Now that I am tutoring full-time, your resources make my life a lot easier!
Hey there Mama! I just wanted to leave you some encouragement and let you know how very much you are appreciated!! I dont say that lightly either. You have done so so much hard work and then you have and continue to bless us other mamas/teachers with your outcome. I just wanted to say thank you. You are the best and I pray when you look in the mirror you see the awesome beautiful mama/woman that God created you to be!
