15+ Preschool Reading Resources | The Homeschool Classroom

advertisement

 

The following is from contributing writer Becky of This Reading Mama.

This post contains affiliate links.

Preschooling at home can be intimidating for some parents.  While learning happens mainly through play and integrating learning concepts throughout the day, it is also nice to have a few “extras” for the toolbox when preschoolers are ready for more of a challenge.  Here are a few reading resources that can give guidance when working with a preschooler at home.  Some are free.  Some are not.  But all of them are excellent resources I highly recommend {this comes from a former classroom teacher with an M.Ed. in Reading}.  And don’t miss the giveaway at the end!

PreK Packs

These packs are based on units {such as popular toys, animals, or seasons} and feature literacy skills, but also integrate other Pre-K skills as well, such as scissor cutting or math.

  • 3 Dinosaurs
  • This Reading Mama
  • 1+1+1=1
  • Homeschool Creations
  • 123 Homeschool 4 Me
  • 2 Teaching Mommies
  • Mama’s Learning Corner

Alphabet Resources

These resources feature work on the alphabet…letters and their sounds.

  • Letter of the Week Curriculum {Confessions of a Homeschooler}
  • Tot School Printables {1+1+1=1}
  • ABCs Packs {3 Dinosaurs}
  • Zoomin Moving Alphabet {Royal Baloo}

Advanced Preschoolers

  • Reading the Alphabet {This Reading Mama, see giveaway below!}
  • BOB Book Printables {Set 3 comes out in August!}
  • Reading the Easy Way {sight word program} from 123 Homeschool 4 Me
  • You Can Read {sight word program} from 1+1+1=1
  • Ready 2 Read {from The Moffatt Girls}
  • Raising Rock Stars Preschool {from 1+1+1=1}

Reading the Alphabet button-new250

I am excited to give away one bundle pack of Reading the Alphabet!  I created this reading program for my son when he was three and he worked through it all last school year.  This particular program is developmentally appropriate for children who have a good grasp on letters and their sounds, but aren’t ready for a faster-paced curriculum.  Basically, it’s the next step after the ABC’s.

Reading the Alphabet Features:

  • one new emergent reader is introduced a week, featuring one letter sound and one new sight word
  • concept of print activities
  • rhyming activities
  • counting syllables
  • initial sound sorts
  • blending phonemes
  • sight word games
  • word family activities
  • tracing pages
  • coloring pages
  • making and extending patterns
  • numbers 1-20, and MORE!
  • 31 weeks of activities and lesson plans total {plus extras}

While you can download all of the individual lessons for free on my blog {Be sure to carve out some time because there are a lot of downloads!}, I have been working hard this summer to package it up into one bundle pack!  At $10, it’s a great deal.  It’s stream-line to save you time and ink, AND I’ve added a few new activities to it that are not available in the free downloads!

Today I’m giving away one Reading the Alphabet Bundle Pack download to a reader here on The Homeschool Classroom!  Enter via the Rafflecopter widget below for a chance to win.  Please note that the only mandatory entry is a comment on this blog post.  All other entries are optional. This giveaway ends Friday, August 9th.

      My son just turned 4 and has been “reading ready” for quite a while. I’m feeling compelled to look into homeschooling this year with a Pre-K or K-4 focus, and not knowing exactly where to start. Hoping this giveaway might help me.

    My husband is going to homeschool our daughter. At 3.5 she is already showing skills at reading and the packets that just focus on the sounds of letters are not very challenging for her. This program sounds just like what she needs.

    I just started homeschooling my 3.5 year old in June. He’d been in a traditional preschool/day care since he was 18mos old and I struggled to find a curriculum that would work with him as he already knows a lot of the BASICS for preschool. I plan to homeschool him (and his sister) until he’s in 6th grade.

    I would use Reading the Alphabet with my 3 year old to “play” school. She’s done a letter of the week program and enjoys school, so we’ll keep moving on.

    This is my first year homeschooling! I have 2 girls, a 3-year-old and a 21-month-old and my 21-month-old wants to do everything big sister does. They are both very bright and love playing “school.” We read a lot, craft, have outside activities, build and “cook” in our kitchen. They also help with sweeping, cleaning up and laundry. It’s all fun to them so we do it together!!

    Great resources for reading. I’m so glad I got my kids reading early. And my kids are too. I don’t home school, but my kids were good readers when they started public school and it gave them a lot of confidence that flowed over to other subjects..
