Children’s Book of the Week: Explode The Code primers
This week’s book of the week is different from normal. Usually I post about books we are readying; however, this week I’m talking about a series of books I’ve been using to teach DJ how to write and phonics. The books are Explode The Code primers by Nancy Hall. There are three books in total. They’re the primer books for her Explode the Code series. I really wanted DJ to get a head start on learning how to write and say his letters correctly before Kindergarten started. Originally, I was doing them every single day. However, COVID got in the way. David started working from home, and things needed to be shifted…

Welcome to day five of Blogmas! I’m sure it is not surprise I love books. That’s why I do a book of the week almost every week. I tend to stick to children’s books, and I don’t share every single book we read together. During Blogmas I’m sharing holiday themed books; however, I’m only getting to share four holiday books this month. I wanted to share three more Christmas books for little kids that I think are adorable. As usual these books are on Kindle Unlimited. We pay for it monthly, and get good use out of it.

Children’s Book of the Week: Neon Tiki Tribe
I’m back with another book of the week. Actually, this is a set of thirteen books. I was actually sent these books, but was not to do a review or anything in return for them. However, I really wanted to share these books with you. I think these books would be a great present for any child. It doesn’t matter if you have read it to them or if they read. First, I wanted to mention that they use a specific font for dyslexic readers called Dyslexie. If you ask me that is amazing. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Children’s Book of the Week: Charlie and the Cheesemonster by Justin C. H. Birch
I’m back with another book of the week. I took a break, because I really wanted to wait until I had a physical book to share.
