Explode the Code - Helps with phonics, spelling, handwriting and more.

I started using the Explode the Code series with my children five years ago when we first began homeschooling. Each one of my children has enjoyed using these workbooks. They learned valuable skills all while having fun. It didn't seem like work to them so they happily completed their workbooks.

I started my pre-schoolers with the Get Ready for The Code books. It introduced them to letters, sounds, handwriting and so much more! There are three workbooks in this series, Book A, Book B and Book C. Get Ready for the Code is suggested for preschool and  Kindergarten.

Get Ready for the Code "covers early literacy skills and letter formation, students will learn through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities that include tracing, matching, tracking, copying, and following directions."

After the Get Ready for The Code series, we began the Explode the Code series. There are a total of fifteen workbooks. There are books 1 through 8, as well as books 1 1/2 through 7 1/2. The half books are for re-enforcement of all they have learned previously. Books 1-4 are recommended for 1-3 grades. Books 5-8 are recommended for 2-4 grades. 

"Explode the Code is a researched-based, multisensory, Orton-Gillingham based program that builds essential literary skills through direct, systematic, phonics instruction. Providing a comprehensive overview of phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and spelling, students will gain the skills they need to read words, phrases, sentences, and stories on their own."

From October 13 through October 20, Christian Book is offering 35% off select Explode the Code resources.

Zipzicles review and giveaway!!

A couple weeks ago I received a package of Zipzicles to try out and review. I must say, I was super excited. You can read about how Zipzicles was started here. This summer my children and I attended VBS at our church. Since our church is a 30 minute drive and VBS ran from 8:30-12:30, I knew that I would need to pack their lunches. I attempted to make my own Zipzicle type packaging but it did not turn out well at all. I didn't take pictures because no-one needs to witness how bad they were. So, a couple months ago I found Zipzicles and wanted to give them a try. It is such a simple idea and I cannot believe no-one thought of them sooner. One of the things I like most (besides being super convenient) is that the packages are BPA free and recyclable! I also like that I know exactly what my kids are eating because I make it myself. Okay, so here is what I did. I made smoothies and put them in the Zipzicle packages. I am a big fan of tropical smoothies. Here I have coconut milk...

Vintage Christmas Wonderland - Review

When I was contacted a few weeks ago and asked if I would review a newly released Christmas album, I couldn't type fast enough to respond and say YES! Christmas is, by far, my favorite time of year.  When I received the Cds, they were wrapped in beautiful burlap and ribbon and decorated with a sparkly snowflake. Along with the Cds, there was a personal handwritten note. It was so sweet and just made the entire experience of this review scream vintage. Vintage Christmas Wonderland by David Ian has a smooth jazzy sound that takes you back to the days when life was less complicated. When I was contacted to review the album, it was described to me as " It's reminiscent of the Charlie Brown Christmas album and meant to bring warmth to the season!".  I can tell you, that is a perfect description. While listening to Vintage Christmas Wonderland, I felt like putting up my Christmas tree just so I could plug in the lights and watch them glow. I felt like starting a ...
