            I love the phonics books. They have helped both my special needs child and my typical reader progress in their reading skills. I like that they are short and to the point but still require the child to read a sentence with the target word.

      I use the alphabet and number pages the most since I work with preschoolers everyday and they need help with the alphabet and numbers. The kids love the pages and they are so excited to do the worksheets when I put them out because they’re so interactive.

      I am a 2nd grade teacher. I have approximately have 6 different levels of students in my classroom. I have students who are still learning sounds to letters, students who need additional practice with long vowel words, and students who need help learning their sight words. All of your resources are helpful to my teaching! I look forward to your newsletters and catching up on the going-on’s in your life.
      Thank you,

      I like ALL the content. I’ve NEVER been disappointed with anything I’ve bought from Measured Mom (and share this resource with families of students I tutor, teachers, homeschoolers…)

      I do appreciate that the clipart is more diverse (kids see kids who look like them).

      Wish list? More math resources, esp. for grades 1-3. More on ways to use manipulatives to teach math.

        Congratulations ! Completing 6yrs is a great achievement . Really appreciate the hard wok you put and in a way save many of along with some working hours.
        The e-book on secret of good teaching is really helpful. I like and use almost all the flash cards with my Young ones. the phonics books are perfect in size to hold and in length to be read and finished by the early learners.
        These are few of your wonderful Creations that many of us use.
        Thank you very much.
        Have a fruitful and joyful year ahead. All the best.

      I used the downloadable book, ABC’s of Preschool to prepare my son for Kindergarten. I love the many ideas and hands-on ideas to familiarize a pre-schooler with letters and sounds.

      I have also used many printables from the site as well, clip cards, number recognition games/activities as well. I taught 1st and 4th grades before having kids, and it has been so fun to use the Measured Mom’s resources to prepare my own children for entering school. It is the number one place I go for resources!

    I teach several ages and all levels of English language Learners in Israel, the kids particularly love the silly sentences where they have to put together funny sentences. Also the mini books of word families and blends are a bit hit in my classroom. The other day I changed the vowel family books to the next level (books 6-10). Immediately the kids asked if they could do another reading marathon and read the new books. They love putting stickers on the chart next to their name for each book they read.

Since July, I’ve also started my own blog and have linked to yours. Some of my favorite resources that you offer are the My Mini Alphabet Flipbook. My son reads and adds a page to his flipbook each week! I also love your handwriting and alphabet printables. I love more than just those, but those things are what we are focusing on now.

I all but abandoned the curriculum we were using and pieced my own technique together using many of your offerings; something my family is very grateful for.

    Anna,

    Congratulations on The Measured Mom’s birthday! Whether or not you had an idea of the route this site would take six years ago, I know undoubtedly you have helped and encouraged, not only children, but also many adults (like myself) to feel more confident in their teachings. To say I appreciate your hard work and resources you provide would be an understatement. You are a wonderful person whom I feel I’ve gained a friend through this mountainous journey of homeschooling (my also 6 year old!) simply because I am constantly turning to you for the answer or the right tool, a word of advice or encouragement or just some phenomenal free resources you so generously provide. I am so very grateful to have come across your site last year and will continue to spread the word! Congrats again, friend 😉

    Hi Anna,
    Congratulations on having a sixth anniversary! I love all your products! I used your learning to read resources for my daughter who is now 9 (year 4) and has a very high reading level since pre-primary. I studied Early Childhood/Primary Teaching and your resources helped with student placements. I particularly liked the guides on how to, games, match and sort activities etc. I recently bought the guided writing resource on encouraging writing (Pre-Primary to year 3 up) and have also enjoyed the letters/alphabet book ideas for Kindy/Child Care. I also like your take on maths making it ‘hands on’ and engaging. I don’t know how you do it all with a busy household and I take my hat off to you. May God continue to bless you and your family, may you work on this ‘Measured Mum’ website be profitable and bless you.
    Kindest regards,
    Marianne

    My kinders love practicing beginning sounds with your beginning sound boards. I printed them and put them in plastic sleeves so they get to use wipe off markers and practice when they finish their other work. It’s helping expand some of their vocabulary as the pictures are a little different than the norm. I can’t wait to start with some of the other pages when we get to blends and other spelling patterns.

I especially enjoy your literacy items, however I use the math just as much. I also like how you incorporate themes, seasons, and holidays into lessons. I only have my groups for 30 minutes a day, which, in reality, ends up being 20 minutes of teaching time so your materials are perfect! Thank you for being so incredible!!!

    I love everything I’ve found on this site but I think my favorite is the various clip cards. They are great activities for my students to do when they finish an assignment early or when we are short-staffed (I’m a special ed teacher with 4 para educators). The kids can do the cards independently with adults only needed for checking/helping to correct answers, so one adult can oversee several students. The variety of topics and skill levels of the cards ensure there is always something appropriate for each of my students.

    Love your blog. I’m charter/homeschooling for kindergarten this year, and your blog has been a wonderful resource to me. Your video on teaching to read was so helpful. Within 1 month of applying those strategies my 5 year old was reading and now she is a top reader in our charter homeschool class.

    This year I am definitely using the sight word and word families/blends worksheets the most, but all of your products are fantastic! Thank you Anna!
