5 Essential and Engaging Learning-to-Read Books from Amazon

We are preparing for an amazing Christmas season by purchasing a few educational items for my little one. Here's a secret, we usually like to open one (or sometimes two) presents before Christmas to engage my little one when we are on a trip in November or December.

1 - Learn to Read with Tug the Pup and Friends! Box Set 2: Levels Included: C-E (My Very First I Can Read)
This seems like an amazing book to engage our preschooler in sight words and reading before she enters kindergarten!

 

2 - Bob Books: First Stories

Yes! There are 12 books in this pack and each of them are easy-to-read! I cannot wait to write a review after Christmas!

 

3 - Reading Adventures Sofia the First Level Pre-1 Boxed Set

Oh, my little one loves Sophia and she will definitely love the learning-to-read process from the Disney Reading Adventures!

4 - Si llevas un ratón a la escuela (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie)
We love to incorporate Spanish for my little one's "learning at home" sessions each week! She will definitely love the Spanish version of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"! This is a great easy tool for your children to learn Spanish!

5 - Movie Night Magic! (Shimmer and Shine) (Step into Reading) 
Oh, my little preschooler loves Shimmer and Shine! In fact, she sings the song almost every day! I like the fact that we can incorporate sight words with characters that she watches almost every day! This will be great for hotel nights away when our family travels throughout the year!

I cannot wait for these books to arrive! I plan to wrap them as soon as we receive them and place them under the tree (that I plan to trim as soon as possible). Surprise hubby! Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Travel with Unlimited Books Through Amazon Kindle Unlimited

We are still on our journey to read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten and we reached our halfway point! Yes, I know that we have three more months, but we will MAKE IT! Yes, I am the mom with optimism! Plus, I have to add the books from her bedroom as well! :)

To help us on our endeavor and to prevent the weekly run to the city library, the church library, and the local Goodwill, I decided to purchase the Amazon Kindle Unlimited App for our family. I use it for my college courses, my little one uses it for her 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program and my husband uses it for church! There are 172,347 books for kids!

We love this app, because it is easy for summer travel (instead of traveling with 8+ books) and it is great for the family! Check it out and let us know what you think!

Here are 10 Ways that you can read 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten as well! Thank you to the Hood County Library!

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

A Preschooler's Review of Terry Treetop and the Little Bear by Tali Carmi

We hope you are having a great week!

Over the holidays, we visited my little one's grandparents in East Texas. This was an incredible road trip for her, because she enjoys the drive. However, it is difficult to keep those important bedtime routines and travel with minimal items.

As a result, we travel light and incorporate mommy's iPad in the bedtime routine by utilizing the Kindle App. We have the Kindle Unlimited plan and this has been great for those busy times when working parents cannot visit the library during the week. Here's our video review!

Remember, we are on our journey to read 1,000 books before kindergarten and the book for the first night of our trip was Terry Treetop and the Little Bear. This book was great and it engaged my preschooler the entire time!

She enjoyed the pictures and rated this book higher than the other books that she read during the weekend. She loves the five star rating system and she will rate books MORE stars or LESS stars than the other books during the week's timeframe.

Check out the hashtag for this book - #TerryTreetopandtheLittleBear

Have a great week and plan for the weekend! Come back next week for our weekly review!
