    Love your blog. Iโ€™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.

    I have used quite a few of the free printables, and my favorites are the alphabet tracing cards, the alphabet books with pictures and the alphabet picture cards. I prefer to use printables with real life items pictured for my in home child care toddlers and preschoolers.

    Happy birthdayโ€ฆ I return regularly for printables. Thank you for the hard work you put into the printables. I use often the The Letter of the Week curriculum and the sight word readers are great as well.

    I have used the number & letter find papers constantly in my classroom as well as the emergent readers. That being said, I use so many The Measure Mom resources & each one has been wonderful for me & my kiddos! I share The Measured Mom with my Co-Teachers every chance I get!

    I probably use the easy readers the most. I love how you have what sight words were used inside each one, and the colorful pictures are great too!
    There have been so many games that Iโ€™ve printed and used too. The vowel sound ones are great when teach short vowel sounds.

    I love all of the resources that assist the vowels. I teach Kindergarten and it’s always something going on with the schedules and testing but one thing I can count on is a great short or long vowel resource from The Measured Mom. My students love the word sorts and the books. I think the books are their favorite because they’re confident in themselves after reading them!!! Thanks for helping to make teaching memorable for my kinder-babies!!!

    Right now, I’m using many of your phonics products. I really appreciate how they focus on the reading part without a lot of writing. So many phonics products include such a large writing component, which is fine for my daughter, but not the best for my son. I also love the variety of activities for beginning readers!

    Last year, I especially used phonics resources (taught first grade), this year I teach second and have been pulling from all of the resources you have available. I’ve had 2 students come in still learning their alphabet and was able to pull some of the things you had available quickly and easily to be able to reach these learners where they’re at.

    I use your book section the most, but honestly, there isn’t anything that you have posted on your website that I don’t find helpful in my job in the schools. As a speech language pathologist working in the schools, working with students from Kdg thru 7th grade, I find a use for almost everything you have highlighted and put on your website. Even the worksheets I have printed off and left with substitutes to use when I have not been here and they have worked out nicely!

    I’ve really enjoyed the reading lists. And recently have been using sight word and phonics books with my kindergartener. She’s in public school, but so enthusiastic about reading. It’s been great to have more at her level to read at home.

    I’m sure I already left you a post, but I wanted to let you know that the CVC activities for kindergarten came in handy for my daughter. She still goes back to them and asks to do them. I am now enjoying all you sight words activities. (And attempting to make them a fun spelling/writing activity.) Thank you for your hard work and for sharing it with us. โค

    A friend told me about you a few months ago, and I have benefitted immensely. I use your preschool material for my own kids and your elementary resources for my students. Also, your emails…do. not. stop. those. please! I love reading about your ideas and tips, especially from your mom’s pint of view. I follow so much of your advice, even down to getting my daughter the Melissa and Doug shopping chart and subscribing to the Art Hub Youtube channel for myself.

    Right now, Iโ€™m LOVING your early reader books. I love how theyre set up, theyโ€™re colorful, and my speech delayed 6 year old is actually picking up on the visual ques for words!!!!!!!! We used them to help enforce the sight words sheโ€™s supposed to know for school. Last week Iโ€™m proud to say she got 100% on her sight word and phonogram test!!!

    I love your emails! They are short, sweet, real life, and beneficial! It is like the best of both worlds. I enjoy reading them because you write them like we are sitting chatting about joys, family, life, homeschool, and you are honest and do not leave out your struggles! ๐Ÿ™‚ I really appreciate your list of beginner novels with girl and boy main characters. This will be an encouragement for my kids! Happy Birthday!

    I like all aspects of this site. I like the weekly emails and info about your family and works for kids you work with as well as the games, worksheets, and tidbits that we as teachers sometimes forget because we get in the routine of doing the same thing and trying to get everything done in a day and forget to put the “fun” into learning. Thank you for everything!!

    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.

    Which resource do I use most? Ummm, who could choose? Of course I love sight words, I have the large, super creative letter of the week pack- love that!, math games and preschool counting bin ideas, oversize letters, rhyming clip cards, syllable clip cards, holiday packs, lego card games (more math, really fun), I loved the series on teaching writing as well. I really can’t choose both those are my top ones.

    You provide so many useful resources. I use many of them. I work as a Title I Teacher at the elementary level. It is often difficult to find useful and fun materials. 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!!!

    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.

    Happy Anniversary and a hearty congratulations on completing 6 years! I must appreciate and express my gratitude for the years of hard work you put in to making various resources, that are widely available for use and has helped many children. Thank You!

    I love all your resources! They are meticulously designed and created to suit the needs of learners. I use most of your resources that are related to early learning, especially the reading activities. The most useful and sought out resource was the ‘Book List’ you have created with various categories. I refer the lists quite often when choosing a book for the kids.

    Wish you all the best!

    I think I have been with you all 6 years. I started mostly using your beginning sound mats (and also got some of my coworkers using them.) I have used many of your reading resources, both free and have bought them as well. Most recently, I have used your number recognition activities. I work in Special Ed with 1-3 grade kids but their academic levels are more of pre-k to 1st grade. Thanks for all that you do to help us out. We are always looking for different ways to teach the basics. Every learner learns differently!

    I love the self-checking/self-correcting literacy games! My learners who need extra practice can get that practice without being overly public about what they struggle with– being able to self-check and self-correct is a huge boost to their confidence and making it all the way through an activity and getting everything right is an even bigger one!

    As a special education teacher, I know my students need lots of practice on letter identification, letter sounds, rhyming, and CVC words. the Measured Mom offers up quick and easy activities that are both effective and engaging for my students. I can often “print and play” with very little prep. This has been wonderful when I have multiple students needing practice on multiple skills. Thank-you!

    I love all the ABC ideas. I do a homeschool preschool with each of my kids when theyโ€™re 3 (and usually some nieces and nephews join us too) and the ideas and resources on the ABC section are my go-to starting point when we start a new lesson!

    Congratulations on 6 years! I love all your products but the ones that I have found the most helpful this year have been your phonic games. They have been so easy to use and so helpful. I teach multiple grades and at multiple schools so having the ability to target specific skills and transition quickly between groups without having to set up multiple activities has made my time for efficient. I can simply switch out the sheet in the sheet protector and I am good to go.

    Thank you for your amazing products.

    I love the products you create. They were among the very first ones I found and started using with my son, who is 3. They are easy to find and use and I can see him learning. I also use some of them in the little preschool class I teach on Tuesday mornings for a momsโ€™ group.

    Congratulations on six years! Thank you for everything you do. You truly are helping us on our homeschooling journey! So far our absolute favorite is the card game for cvc words and the chart to mark real or silly words. My 4 year old loves it. I love anything that will make him a reader! We are currently using many of your activities. I also really appreciate the reading lists. They give me a place to start at the library and we always like the books you choose. Again, I just want to say thank you.

    From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for all of the free high quality resources you make available to teachers. As a new teacher to kindergarten, your site is my go-to place, and I can’t imagine how much money I would have spent without your help. My favorite products are the engaging resources that support phonological awareness. Thank you so much for your generosity. You’re really an angel.

    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

By the end of the school year they will have a collection of games to practice phonics and math all summer long. I love, love, love, you word family books.

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 Iโ€™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 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.

    To be totally honest, I love the freebies. We have such limited resources and being a special needs classroom, we have to adapt almost everything. Your worksheets and games are always something we can use for our K-2 class!

    I started homeschool preschool with my son in July 2018. Iโ€™ve read and used lots of blogs throughout the last several months, but yours is one of the few that I have stuck with from the beginning of my journey! Since July, Iโ€™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. Thank you so much for offering so many freebies! Iโ€™m a single mom of three on a budget!

    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.

You make tutoring dyslexic pupils so much fun hereโ€™s to the next 6 years x

    i love your blog! I recently printed off a MLK day activity but I also love your upper and lowercase letter activities. Thank you for all the work that you put in to this! I taught for almost 10 years and then took 10 years “off” to stay home with my babies. Now I’m back and feel like a brand new teacher again. It’s so nice to be able to use some of your resources for my classroom.

    I love all of the rhyming resources. But really, there are very few things I have found on here that I don’t love. They are so easy to use and also look appealing and not like I ripped it out of a 90’s math textbook. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thank you for all that you do!

    I use the alphabet resources and many, many of the phonics centers. I really love the newest product-the problem solving snowmen, too! I have used your materials and can’t imagine where I’d be if I hadn’t found them about five years ago while searching for literacy plans!

    I can’t name just one product because I have been able to use so many! The phonics printables made for centers are wonderful along with the handwriting printables, nonfiction readers, and a lot of the math printables. Love them all!

    I refer to your site so often it’s hard to choose a favorite. I love your word family activities, printable readers, sight word everything….big letter alphabet cards ….it’s hard to decide.

    I love all your reading and math activities! You don’t know how much of a blessing it is to have your resources. They are so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing with your fellow teachers.

    I love the picture sort for beginning sounds (with pictures). I have my kindies sort objects by their sounds and then followup with your picture sort (so that we move from actual objects to pictures). It’s something they love to do too!

    I love your reading activities that go with different vowel and phonics patterns. Whenever I am in need of some fun games or activities, I go to your website and always find the perfect thing. My students love your four in a row vowel games! Thank you for sharing so many of your great products for free!

    I love the editable resources! As a special ed teacher, sometimes my students donโ€™t yet have all the skills needed to play some of the premade games, so being able to edit them to fit their current skill set is really awesome!

    Which resources from The Measured Mom do you like or use the most? Hmmm… Well, I have really enjoyed all of the resources I have used from Measured Mom. Lately I have been using the early reading and math resources more often.

    I don’t have a favorite of sorts because I love the resources that are shared, honestly! I use the bottle cap letters often, as well as the word families games. I’m stoked to have found the measuredmom and her Reading products. Very often I encourage my colleagues to follow you on your blog and on tpt.. #thanksaMil

    WOW, that’s a tough one to answer, but I think I appreciate the reading/pnonic games the most. Helps students practice reading/phonics in fun ways that support the skill we are learning.

    Previously, I was teaching 1st grade and used a LOT of your phonics materials. Now I am teaching math and my new favorite is the mystery series (sweater, dog, snowman). My kids are loving them!

    Thanks for all the great ideas, and centers for use in the classroom. I love all the phonics games. I am always looking for new games for my KGs to play to practice their reading skills.
