Preschool Corner: Favorite Preschool Resources

I’ve been completing standardized testing with the girls this week, so we’ve haven’t done much ‘school’ this week at all.

Unless you count two trips to the children’s museum as school. {grins}

Otherwise, we’ve just curled up on the couch and Zachary has been working on his reading and is doing wonderful!! He is so proud of himself and his pace is really picking up too.

In the meantime I wanted to share some of my favorite resources that I’ve used with Zachary this year. This is by no means my exhaustive list {because trust me, there are things hidden in so many different corners of my house it’s ridiculous}. I suppose you could call these my “go-to’s”.

Books/Curriculum

• Before Five in a Row ~ this is one that I’ve used occasionally this year to do a few lapbooks with Zachary. You can read a review I wrote on it here and also see a one of the lapbooks we did
• IttyBitty Bookworm ~ I plan on using this a more with Kaleb next year, but have used it with Zachary this year too. If you aren’t sure where to start, the plans are really affordable ($20 to download a month’s worth of curriculum). You can see some things we did for the Letter S if you’d like.
• My ABC Bible Verses – Great book for preschoolers/kindergarten that has a short verse for each letter of the alphabet along with a short devotion to do during the week.
• Kumon Workbooks – They have a huge variety of booklets to choose from: cutting, shapes, folding, sticking/pasting, tracing, mazes and more. Amazon frequently offers 4 for the price of 3 and then free shipping to boot.
• Rime to Read – Zachary has really enjoyed these books for beginning reading and I enjoy that they are stored on my computer for later use too! You can read more about it here.
