Thank you for the effort to make this list for us!
Thanks for the shout out!! 🙂 I do have a few book lists varying from favorites for certain ages, short read alouds, longer read alouds, free kindle books etc. – http://www.jessicalynette.com/books-for-kids/
And I made a Bible reading "plan" for my rather scatter brained child – http://www.jessicalynette.com/missions/kids-devotions-genesis-1-printable/ – it has him read, draw and circle, underline and highlight certain things from the verses. I put in online as a free printable for anyone. It has GREATLY helped him out!
I just finished some thanksgiving printables for my guys as we will be traveling and it is something to occupy them – http://www.jessicalynette.com/school/thanksgiving-worksheets-free-printables/
And lastly, these "seven laws" have been such a huge help in my journey – http://www.jessicalynette.com/personal/the-seven-laws-of-teaching/
Thanks for sharing, Jessica!
This looks like a good resource – thank you for compiling this information here. 🙂
Thank you–I hope it's as useful to others as it is to me! 🙂
