Back to school nights are going on and the meeting of new teachers. I would highly recommend talking to them about being a volunteer in their classroom. I volunteered all last year in a Kindergarten class and loved it! Read what the teacher had to say about it.
Dear Doreese,
I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation to you for what you have done for my students! You have opened up the world to them and your program has filled the void in their learning. I have loved having you work with me too! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Love, Renee
You could receive this kind of gratitude from a teacher, and make a difference in some children's lives. I was even able to save one child from having to repeat Kindergarten! This child caught up quickly using See abc's, and even exceeded some of the other students. It's so exciting to teach beginning readers how to take shapes of letters, decode them and put them together into words! That only happens once in their lives, and the less frustrating it is for them, the more they will want to do it! That word want plays a huge factor in all of the rest of their educational life.
Now, off to school you go! What new and exciting adventures await!

Need to Brush Up Your Child's Handwriting???
Oh my stars! That's my new catch phrase and go to phrase for enthusiasm!
So, Oh my stars! I can't believe I've gone over a month without a post! Is summer slipping from you as fast as it has for me? School draws near, very near! One skill that little ones need to really work on is their handwriting skills. I have posted a couple of cute, little videos of little ones using the "ABC's and 123's See How to Trace" book, and their "magic finger." See how much fun you can have while working on handwriting.
But, there are several other skills they are learning at the same time without knowing it. With my program, they are actually drawing the letters instead of writing them! So, they learn how to draw. They learn the picture clues that will help them learn to read. And, they are developing their fine motor skills through a tactile experience that enables them to easily "draw" the letters just getting the feel of it into their little hands and fingers before having to use a pencil.
Also, they are taught how to easily connect the two cases together; which upper case shape belongs to which lower case shape, through short and simple stories. Enjoy watching these cute kids!

I have posted these videos before, but a long time ago. Even if you have seen them, it will get you excited to work on it again.
