Letter of the Week K4 Expansion & You Can Read Giveaway!

I am thrilled to share this giveaway with you! As I am sure most of you know, I create printables and so does Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler. What you may not know is that through blogging we became friends behind the scenes long ago! We have recently decided to partner together to share our Kindergarten-focused programs and host a giveaway of BOTH!

I used Erica’s LOTW Preschool printables all throughout preschool with Krash. We used RRSP as our base and added in tons of LOTW printables to supplement-it worked beautifully for us!

We are now using Calvert as our base, You Can Read as our main add-on for sight words, and LOTW K4 as a supplement!

Because I know I will be using these materials again with Krash for review and also with Ladybug in the future, I decided to print my favorites and laminate them. I actually scaled down a few and printed 2 per page and laminated these back to back to save paper/ink/laminating film.

Here’s just a small glimpse of a few of Erica’s K4 printables we have used…

As Krash got towards the end of RRSP, we began using the letter hunt worksheets from LOTW K4…

More recently we have been using the beginning sound sheets. We both love these because they become a big laughing fest for us. First he says the sound {“k”} and then he replaces the beginning sound in each word says them aloud {Kish, Kebra, Kite}. He absolutely loves this and it really helped him!!

We also used the simple sentence mini books…

He did awesome with the middle vowel sound work-I was actually quite surprised!

I love that Erica’s creations can be added into our routine so easily. He recognizes many of the graphics from doing the LOTW week work during preschool. I have many other activities printed to use in the future, I just keep it all together in a pocket folder and pull out a few things to add to his lesson plans each week.

Letter of the Week ~ Giveaway! CLOSED

Congratulations #360 Debbie, YOU WIN!!!!!

{chose via random.org}

I am honored to share my good bloggy-friend- Erica’s Letter of the Week Curriculum with you!

Most of you probably already know Erica, her blog- Confessions of a Homeschooler, is hard to miss because it is simply amazing! If you haven’t been there, go now! Erica is the one who taught me how to put the fancy navigation drop down menu bar on my blog and I am so grateful, it is probably the most useful thing I have ever added to my blog! She is also a Totally Tots team member, managing our Crafty Corner feature for us.

Erica has generously offered to give away her set of Letter of the Week printables in either download or cd format! She graciously offers them for free on her blog too, but as a package download for a fee…I think this idea is brilliant. It allows those who can’t afford to pay the $ the option of downloading the pieces one by one, but also gives those of you who can afford $10 a way to support her efforts financially while also getting the printables as a simple package.

As I well know, a LOT of time goes into into not only creating the printables, but also sharing them. Converting them, uploading them, and presenting them often takes more work than creating some of them! The amount of work that has gone into her printables is unreal! Erica does this generously not only for her Letter of the Week, but also for many other printables she makes.

We use her Letter of the Week printables on a regular basis, here’s a few action shots of Krash enjoying Erica’s work…

K is for Kite…

You can find all of her printables on her site [which is so easy to navigate using her top bar and sidebar box}. If you can afford to purchase her package, I highly recommend it, even just as a way to say THANKS to her and to give her some financial encouragement as she shares so freely with all of us. Plus, it gives you the ability to have all of the printables at your fingertips after you download them all at once.

One of you is going to win the Letter of the Week Curriculum!

To enter, leave a comment here telling me who you would use this curriculum for!
