Everything You Want and Need to Teach Pre-Reading

What if you didn’t have to rack your brain (or phone) for creative and fun activities?

I’ve got you covered! You no longer need to imagine what this would be like. You can make it happen.
These Daily Lessons in Preschool Literacy take the guesswork out of teaching.
I am so happy to reintroduce my preschool literacy curriculum that thousands of veteran preschool teachers and experience homecoming parents are using.
I have been working on updating this preschool curriculum for the last two years. It’s been through three expert editors and a large sample of real preschool teachers and homeschooling parents who have been giving me constant feedback along the way.
And of course, I have been using it in my own preschool classroom.
You can grab an entire one-week sample at the end of this post, but first, let me tell you a little back story about how these preschool literacy lesson plans came to be.
The Story Behind It’s Creation
When I found out my fourth baby was due two weeks after the preschool year started, I panicked.
Having an in-home preschool, I didn’t have the option of finding a substitute while I took six weeks off for maternity leave. I needed to be in the classroom, and if I didn’t, my preschooler students were going to get short changed. And that wasn’t fair for them or their parents.
Nope. My newborn was going to have to come to class with me each day, snuggled down in a baby wrap, after a two week maternity leave.
But what in the world was I going to do about lesson planning?!
Realistically, how was I going to balance a newborn, three older children, and running a preschool? Oh, and did I mention that my third and fourth children are only 13 months apart? When I say I panicked, I mean it in every sense of the word.
I knew my time for lesson planning would vanish after the baby was born — and I wasn’t about to try fitting it in between feedings and diaper changes, carpool and PTA events, and so on.
I needed a preschool curriculum I could just open up and teach everyday.
Something that was no-prep.
Something that was still varied and would entice interest in my preschoolers.
Something that wasn’t just worksheets.
And something that was systematic and explicit in skills taught

I designed and wrote this preschool literacy curriculum during my pregnancy, so I could focus on and enjoy teaching (and not lesson planning) that fall. I’m sure you know the feeling…dreading lesson planning and then being too drained to enjoy teaching versus having them already done for you and loving the heck out of teaching preschool!
I didn’t wonder what I was going to teach after a sleepless night with a fussy baby because I had my daily lesson plans already written out. The curriculum was already there, just waiting or me to open it up each day and just teach!
I might have shown up to class with no make-up on, spit-up on my shirt and totally rocking the messy mom bun, but my preschoolers were still going to have fun learning and I didn’t have to do any extra prep! Which means, I didn’t have one more reason for sleepless nights.
I went into that year of teaching, and every year since then, with full confidence knowing that my preschoolers were going to get the very best foundation in literacy possible. I had a thorough and comprehensive curriculum follow.
Since its original edition, this curriculum has been vetted by thousands of veteran preschool teachers and experienced homeschooling parents. It is simple and easy to follow, and best of all…effective!
It is the best literacy curriculum in early childhood education!

What Shelley, a preschool teacher with 32 years teaching experience said:
I have been using this curriculum for about 6 months now. I love the open and go, easy to prep material. It has given daily structure and direction for my classroom. The bonus activities help me reach all children in my care, and I love the teaching tips. The phonological awareness and oral lessons have helped tremendously. I love the scope and sequence approach so we don’t get overwhelmed and we regularly get to learn new material while practicing learned material so my students get a confidence boost. The approach is simple yet effective.
What Amanda, another preschool teacher said:
Finally, a preschool literacy curriculum that is open and go, done for you, and step-by-step!
I’ve been teaching preschool for 10 years and I have yet to find a literacy curriculum better than this one! The activities provide variety but are still age appropriate and fun. I love that every lesson includes hands-on, kinesthetic-based activities. It keeps my preschooler’s attention without being overwhelming for me as a teacher.
What Caitlyn, a teacher turned homeschooling mama said:
As a former pre-k teacher turned stay-at-home mom to 4 littles, I stay plenty busy. This curriculum is thorough and engaging, and most of all, fun for my kiddos. I wanted something that had all the important pre-reading skills, not just letter names and sounds. This curriculum has that! My kids love our daily learning time, and I love not having to spend all my free time lesson planning or searching Pinterest for activities. I just open my curriculum binder and teach!
Imagine the Possibilities…
Ok…let’s loop back up…remember that cup of coffee?
What if you could sit down with your coffee and do your lesson plans for preschool in under five minutes?
What if you could use engaging activities created by an expert?
What if those activities were systematic in skill progression and proven to be effective?
