          • 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,

      Reply

    • I love the booklists! I use them constantly for math, letters, and so much more. Even though we are overseas and don’t have access to many English books, I often find them as read-allowds on YouTube. My boys love them! 🙂

    • 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.

      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!

      Thank you Anna!!!

You make tutoring dyslexic pupils so much fun here’s to the next 6 years x

  84. 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.

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 could easily adapt activities to include my two-year-old boy.

  162. We literally use way too many of your resources to mention in term of favorites…. rhyme cards and short vowel worksheets come to mind as some of the most helpful when we were first learning how to read (both of my children LoVeD your rhyming cards), but really: your offerings absolutely became stepping stones in our journey to learning how to read. 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. Congratulations on six years and blessings on many, many more <3

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 😉

  204. I purchased the letter of the week for my 3 year old and she loves it! She always asks to play with the apple play dough mat. She loves to roll the dice and add “apples” to the tree! Thank you for a wonderful product that my kid enjoys! Happy 6th Birthday!!!

  211. Happy 6th birthday! I love the weekly emails with links to your freebies! I particularly love your literacy activities, just played block out initial letters activity with both my almost 6 and almost 4 year old boys! Also love the alphabet letters that my boys use bingo markers ( in Australia) to find them dot the correct capital and lowercase letter then colour in the picture!

    Happy Birthday!

  230. Six years! Wow. I feel like I found your page/resource just about that long ago. At the time, I was a stay at home mom with an almost 1 year old. I was looking for things to do at home with him to promote early learning. Your site was a gift! One of my favorites are the little letter books and site word books. We have numerous printed for on hand use. Thank you for all you do.

  232. Anna, I hope you know (and you should just by reading all the comments here!) what a blessing you have been to so many classroom teachers, homeschoolers, parents, grandparents, and children. I so appreciate all of your hard work! I truly love everything you produce but especially reading games, phonics games, and math games. The fact that you make some editable is extra amazing! I have recommended your blog to several of my teacher friends and to my daughter and daughter-in-law who have young children. I always read your blog from beginning to end. You have a great way with words and it’s always entertaining! I love hearing about your family. Blessings to you! And a huge thank you for making my life easier and much more fun and engaging for my students! ~ Susan

  464. 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

  475. 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.

  476. 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 moms’ group.

  505. 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.

  518. 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!

    Reply

  520. 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!

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.

  740. I am a HUGE fan of your sensory LOTW curriculum. I especially love your letter books and rhymes. I also really appreciate your 120 math easy-print-and-play printables for K-2. I have several children under the age of 7 and it is nice to have a variety of learning activities for them. I also appreciate the free learning emails where I learned how to teach a Lefty how to write. 🙂 Thank you so much Anna!

  754. I enjoyed using your Short Vowel Games. It covered a broad area of learning and engaged my students in the games.
    Your no-prep activities are a bonus for me.

  762. I love the resources I have used/ checked out! As I just moved, and began teaching 2nd Grade I haven’t been on as much! I am trying to get back into the groove of things though— now that I’ve officially been teaching for a “year.” 5 months in Mississippi teaching first grade and just made 5 months in Virginia teaching second grade! So thank you for everything you do to make it easier for educators! I can’t wait to see all of the new resources you’ve created!

  767. Yours is such a helpful set of well thought out and executed resources. My students and I especially enjoy the short vowel game boards. Thanks much!

  768. 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!!

  770. I use so many resources. I use a lot of rhyme, letters, sounds activities in my classroom and I also use multiplication resources for my ‘biological children.’ I refer to my students as my kids, too, so I had to be specific!

  773. As a Reading Interventionist I have used many of your products. My students always find them engaging and find success when using them. I am always surprised at how many materials you offer for free as well. Thank you!

  776. 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! 🙂 I really appreciate your list of beginner novels with girl and boy main characters. This will be an encouragement for my kids! Happy Birthday!

    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.
    Thanks for what you do!
