what come after letter recognition please?
Anna Geiger says
After children know their letters, they should work on letter sounds. After that, they might be ready to start building short vowel words and learning simple sight words. This post might be helpful: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/reading-skills-kids-need-theyre-ready-sound-out-words/

Is there a way to just get all the freebies in one download? These look and sound great! I am just a bit confused by clicking back and forth to each post. There is so much on each post it makes it a bit overwhelming.
Anna G says
No – they’re just available as individual downloads. Usually the freebie is toward the bottom with a big image that says “click here” or something like that.
