I love Margaret Wise Brown books, so when I found out Homeschool Creations was offering fun printables for The Runaway Bunny, I just had to post it.
The printables are suited for Pre-K and Kindergarten kids. The kit includes the following:
~ vocabulary words
~word tracer cards
~mazes
~syllable counting
~story sequencing
~1:1 counting and more
They are intended to help extend some of the learning from the story itself.
Just under the download link are a few more links for more printables for this book and others.
These cute ABC flashcards and Wall Cards are just in time for back-to-school. The free download can be found at Living Life Intentionally.
3 Dinosaurs is offering over 100 pages of neat ABC printables using the same graphics. You will find ABC Activities including: Missing letters, Writing Pages, ABC Clip Cards, Stamping Pages, ABC Cards, 3 part ABC Cards, and ABC Matching.
I found a super freebie today…Bob books (Set 1, books 1-3) and supplements to go along with them. Walking by the Way is offering these fantastic goodies.
I used BOB books with my daughter when she was little, and I used them with my kindergarten students when I was still teaching. I wish printable activities and sheets had been around back then.

Thought I would post a few neat freebies for February fun.
Funnix is offering their beginning reading program for free until February 16th. After February 16, the price goes to $38.00.
I remember when my daughter was learning to read. She was so excited and frustrated at the same time. My sweetie has dyslexia and other learning challenges that made that special time in a child’s life rather difficult.
I was teaching at a private Christian school at the time, and she was also enrolled. We worked extra hard at home so she wouldn’t have as hard a time in class the next day. Her teacher was very loving. She worked hard to make my daughter feel normal. No matter how hard we all worked, she knew she was different. That made me sad, and it frustrated her to no end.
I explained to her that she was not the problem, it was the fact that she learned differently. I assured her she was smart, and sooner or later, she would be reading books she enjoyed.
She loved listening to me read to her, but reading on her own was not her idea of fun. I thought she would never learn to read, or never learn to read well. Because reading was such a challenge for her, she hated it. I tried everything under the sun to make it fun for her.
Time ended up being our best friend in the long run. She finally found books she WANTED to read. They were a bit younger than what other kids her age were reading, but that was the least of my concerns. I was beyond thrilled that she even wanted to read. We quickly visited the book store and found her books.
The bottom line is some kids, even with reading challenges, will read when THEY are ready. She is not a fast reader, but her comprehension is great! Keep your chin up; your child will read.
Take your time reading the posts. Leave me a comment if you find something of interest, or if you have a question.
