Preschool Printable Workbook

January 25, 2018

Parenting two preschoolers is a lot of fun and a lot of work! Man, do they ever keep me on my toes! I am constantly looking for ways to keep them entertained and engaged – and BONUS if it also happens to be educational! At this age, there is so much to learn that it’s rare they’re not learning through play anyway. As you can imagine, though, the teacher in me is always looking for ways to sneak in developmentally appropriate skills at home.

Faith (4) and Ben (2) are 22-months apart and both currently attend a private preschool two days a week. I love that they get to socialize and learn in a meaningful, low-stress environment where the school’s play-to-learn philosophy aligns with mine. Faith also currently receives physical, occupational, and speech therapy through a private agency, with speech being the primary focus at the current time.

Because I wanted to capitalize on this age – where they’re literally little sponges, soaking up new information every single day – and continue to work on very specific preschool and speech goals at home, I decided to make a little workbook for both Faith and Ben. It has truly helped me to be more intentional in teaching them and they absolutely LOVE having personalized books! (They often refer to it as ‘homework,’ which I believe is because they want to be like their big brother, Beckham!)

The Little Learner: a preschool skills workbook!

I made the first part of the book customizable so that I could put in information that was relevant and purposeful to Faith, such as her full name, our family members, her birthday, address, and phone number.

The Little Learner: a preschool skills workbook!

Each subsequent section works on a skill that aligns with her preschool curriculum and/or speech goals, which are pretty standard for the 2- to 4-year-old crowd with or without learning differences. For instance, in addition to learning her personal information, we’re also working on color naming and recognition, expanding vocabulary, recognizing the letters in her name, and weather.

I intend to add more to their books, too, including: number recognition, counting objects, wh- questions with picture prompts, body part identification, themed vocabulary pages, and positional words.

If you think a toddler or preschooler in your life might benefit from this type of workbook, you can check it out HERE or by clicking the graphic below. It would also be great for transitional kindergarten kiddos, ELL/ESL students, and different ability learners, too!Learn more about The Little Learner preschool workbook!

The Little Learner is a printable book designed to help teach and reinforce basic skills, such as personal information, early literacy and numeracy, and cognitive and language development.   You will find that some sections of The Little Learner are editable so that you can add the information pertinent to your child or student(s) – like name, birthday, address, etc. Other sections are not editable and should be printed as is. This resource works great for preschoolers, kindergarteners, English Language Learners and different ability learners alike.

Happy Teaching!

First Grade Literacy and Math Review

April 3, 2017

It’s the week that report cards are due and, as you look over the report card skills and standards, you’re suddenly thinking: Did I assess that? Did my students master that skill? I think he mastered it, but I don’t remember? I think he struggles, but I don’t have evidence? Did I teach this?!?!?!

Well, at least that’s happened to me a time or two!

Since it’s imperative to be intentional with every ounce of time and instruction, I needed a review to be absolutely SURE that my kiddos were ‘getting it.’ This reading foundational/literacy and math review pack can be used as a review of the standards, preparation for benchmark testing, as a quick assessment, or as a progress monitoring tool.  Above all, it helps you easily take note of which standards students have mastered and where there are gaps, so that you have the opportunity to reteach before it’s too late.

Are you looking for a great way to review reading foundational and literacy and math skills with your first grade students?
