Preschool Worksheets

We are still working to finish up our school year -- or at least get to the point where we can do some laid back school for the summer.  (yes, I will still do a little, since my kids behave much better when we have a little bit of that sort of structure.)

I have started using jelly beans as a reward for worksheets that are finished neatly and in a timely manner.  So each kid probably could earn about 4-5 jelly beans for the day.  This has increased productivity and excitement, so for now that is what I'm going with.  Elliot and Orli have been really enjoying participating in school as well, and now with increased incentive they love to practice their letters!  

I know lots of books can be purchased, but I have been doing some printouts for our preschool work.  I thought I'd share our favorite sites...

This is not a site for printables, but is an interactive way to focus on phonics.  All my kids LOVE this site, and I believe it has been a huge tool in knowing their letter sounds, and beginning reading skills.
