Learning to Read and Write with Reading Unlocked!

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. My 4 year old is learning to read and write with Reading Unlocked ! We were provided with 12 months free access to Reading Unlocked to try in our homeschool routine.  It is an online program that can be used on an iPad, PC, or laptop.  We used our iPad. As you can see, the program is very simple and not cluttered with too much stimulation. The program begins each lesson with a letter, and then asks the student what sound it makes.  Next, the child will identify in a series of questions which picture starts with the letter sound of the day.  The program does say the word for the student.  Then there is a short drill of saying the letter and what sound it makes. Kory then drew the letter on her paper or dry erase board.  This is how this program differs from another

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. We had a great opportunity to listen to all 3 CDs we received from Preborn Prodigy . 1. Prayers & Blessings for the Unborn Child 2. Prayers & Blessings Newborn to 99 3. Math Prodigy Prayers and Blessings for the Unborn Child is perfect for expecting Moms!  This is the perfect baby shower gift.  This can be listened to on a phone or stereo for Mom and baby to hear, or played through Belly Buds (or similar fetal audio system).  The pleasant female voice speaks truths and blessings set to music, reminding anyone who hears that they were fearfully and wonderfully made!  I am a advocate for having music played for baby in the womb, but I believe playing Prayers and Blessings for the Unborn Child would be a great gift for Mom to supplement baby's audio selection ;)

We're Ready for Easter with The Easter Storybook!

I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. We were blessed to be able to review The Easter Storybook by  David C Cook ! The Easter Storybook is a wonderful addition to any homeschool Bible study, family devotional time, or morning basket.  Of course, it would be best used in the 40 days leading up to Easter, but I believe it would be a good resource any time of year! I read this book with my 4 year old PreK daughter, Kory.  First, the introduction from the Author was heart-warming and provided me with a little devotional even to myself before I read this book with my child.  Laura Richie, the author, refers to Jesus as a "Rescuer" in the introduction and throughout the book.  That always keeps Jesus in perspective.  He is a Rescuer; we can't do life on our own. Each story is told in a way that is
