Thanks. I’d love to collaborate on a post sometime. Just shoot me an email and we can figure something out. Julie
Thanks for the tutorial and video! I made my own bead slides, posted about them on my blog, and linked back to you. I know my first and second graders will really benefit from these! 🙂
love the phoneme beads will be making them
Thanks for sharing these great ideas- some of my Firsties really need these!
