We hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year's Eve tonight and a great 2011. As 2010 is quickly slipping into the record books, we can welcome January as a time of renewal and a time for setting goals to help us and our children, or grandchildren to improve. We will be giving you some good goal tips to help your children in their journey of learning how to read.
We know that we need to sit down and set some clear goals for "See abc's LC" to help bring it out of obscurity and get people to know about it. We have a few ideas up our sleeves; we'll see if some of them turn out!
Again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Doreese and Sherry

Stocking Stuffer Stickers!
Here we are just four, I said FOUR days away from Christmas! And, if you are in a panic trying to think of those last minute little things you need to finish up, then I have one suggestion.
Fun stickers would be a great stocking stuffer. Children LOVE stickers! At this time of year, there are a lot of Christmas stickers around. Some of my students really are motivated to do their reading just so that they can put a sticker on their chart, moving them closer to getting a reward or prize. But, on the days they haven't done enough to put a sticker on their chart, I let them choose one to put wherever they want; usually it ends up on their clothes or arms or face!
Whether you are using See abc's or not, I suggest you make up some kind of chart for your child to encourage them in taking time to sit down and learn with you.
It will probably be after Christmas before I get time to blog again. I have a fun story to share about a child who just finished the See abc's reading program.
Have a very Merry Christmas filled with love and joy,
Doreese

Happy Holidays from See abc's®
As we kick off this holiday season, we would like you to hop on over to our website and check out the cute holiday banner there. If you got to this blog because you went to the website first, well then, you have all ready seen it!
The silly picture put an instant smile on my face and made me giggle right out loud! I'm sure it will bring a smile to your face too and hopefully it will be able to stay there throughout the holiday season. So, when you have waited in line for an hour to get that special gift and the person right before you got the last one (as happened to my daughter on black Fri.), or the kids are fighting and screaming about who knows what (it could be any and everything!), then recall this silly reindeer winking at you and just smile! Tis the season to be joyful!
Have you noticed how smiles are contagious? See how many you can give away this holiday season, and I'll bet you will receive a lot back as you do! You'd be amazed at how this can make a person's, you and I included, day brighter. Or, for December, we will say, "merrier!"
In your gift-giving this year, be sure you have at least one good book per child on your list. As the banner says, "Time spent with your children teaching them how to read," truly is the best gift you can give them! And, what about the gift of love you may ask. Well, can you see that it is all ready included when you take the time to sit down with your child and teach him/her the most valuable skill they will ever have? ;0)
