Ho! Ho! Ho! Anytime I can give added value with FREE products connected with reading, I am excited! In the crunch economy we are in this Christmas, Tip 2 & Tip 3 are freebies meant for young readers and can be turned into homemade gifts to wrap up for others, too!

Tip 1 Double Vowel Rule |
Rules can be friends when learning to read, especially when they have cute little rhymes like this:
"When 2 vowels go walking,
The first one does the talking!"
(most of the time)
In each instance, the first vowel walking says his name...wAit, bOat, mEat. These are called "long vowels". Drawing visuals like silly pants walking, is also a way for children to remember this rule that helps decipher words. Be sure to show some of the exceptions to the rules, too. (eight, look, lien)

Tip 3 Thank You Note Cards |
How fortunate I was to stumble upon this site of 34 darling thank you notes, that are downloadable...FREE! This will be a money and time saver for YOU...and ME!
Just print the ones you like.
One of our family traditions is to slip a box of thank you cards into each stocking hung by the fire, (ok...Santa does...) so we are fully prepared to send thanks to friends and family who think of us each Christmas.
Now, we just need to go to www.kidprintables.com/thankyounotes/ , print, cut and we are ready to go...even the lines are drawn for us! Guess you know what's going in our stockings this year...
