    I just printed out your – No Prep Activity Cards. These are awesome and I plan to use them for an assessment. Thank you so much! You wouldn’t happen to have a recording sheet to go with this, do you?

      You start with phonemic awareness. I recommend teaching your child rhyming, syllables, and hearing beginning sounds in words; these are good places to start with.

    Thank you so much for your information and breakdown of concepts that I still have trouble with as a new teacher. I love all your products and how you make it simple to understand. I was having a hard time with these two topics, so this was a nice video explanation. Thank you again!

    I had to laugh as I was watching the video of your daughter doing the cards because I had a shouting match going on in the background of my house as well and I couldn’t even hear yours! We have a loud house as well 😉 Thanks so much!
