GIVEAWAY! The Beehive Reader and a Box of Chocolates! (closed)

giveaways

Do you remember All About Spelling, the spelling curriculum that was highlighted here on Freely Educate a couple of months ago?  Well, they just released a new book to go along with All About Spelling's Level One.  The new book is called the Beehive Reader 1, and it is beautiful…

The Beehive Reader for All About Spelling's Level One

Here is a look at the front of the book (because we all know it's such a myth that we don't judge a book by its cover!):

The Beehive Reader book for All About Spelling's Level One

The Beehive Reader 1 is a 160-page book that correlates with the All About Spelling Level One curriculum, but it does not have to be used with this curriculum.  You may simply want to enjoy the Beehive Reader 1 as part of your library.

Visit the Beehive Reader 1 page to view samples of the book and to view the (glowing!) comments about it.

Do you want one for free?  One blessed winner will receive the Beehive Reader 1 and …

Beehive reader chocolates

We're giving away one Beehive Reader 1 book and a box of (awesome!) chocolates to one of you.  Lucky, lucky you.

  3. I will definitely have to read “Teach Spelling with Letter Tiles” and “A Spelling Lesson Using Letter Tiles.” We already have the tiles; we just need to use them!

  7. One of the characters in the reader is Jill. The reader is just so beautiful! I know my little reader would just adore it! Blessings!

  10. The “Does Invented Spelling Have It’s Place?” article is useful for me. My DD has spent a year in public school where they encourage them to spell however they want and it has caused us a lot of problems.

  12. What a great opportunity! Yummy chocolates to share with your child while they learn… No touching the beautiful pages with melted-gooey-chocolate hands though. Hmmm… maybe we’ll wait until AFTER the lesson(s) to enjoy the chocolates.

  15. I would love this book. I think my emerging reader would love it. We’re studying animals this year and this would really peak her interest in reading.

  18. I read the article Spelling Activities for Practicing Skills. It gave me some great ideas for my very active learner who wants spelling to be more fun.
    I also looked at the samples of the reader. This is a beautiful reader.

  19. The article “Tactile Ways to Practice Spelling” is really helpful to me. I have several tactile learners.

  20. The article Spelling Activities for Practicing Skills looks like it would help my youngest.

  24. What a wonderful giveaway! I am currently using All About Spelling Level 1 to teach my five-year-old to read. The Beehive Reader would be a fabulous accompaniment to that endeavor. Thank you for hosting this!

  29. I appreciate your directing us to this spelling site. I must have missed the earlier post. I will be checking out the “Alphabetizing” article as well as “Teaching Spelling in your Homeschool.” We seem to change spelling programs every year. Thanks!

  38. All About Spelling had several great articles! But the one I related to most right now was “Five Ways to Handle Misspelled Words.” I HS our youngest and my oldest is in PS. They both have struggled with misspellings.
    I used this approach this morning and WOW!

  48. Thanks for offering this giveaway, we have one learning to read and this would be perfect if we win!

  53. Tactile Ways to Practice Spelling was a good article for me because my youngest son is a very tactile, kinesthetic learner and I think some of these ideas would work very well for him.

  68. Because I can really get stuck in a routine and make school boring for me and my daughter, I really enjoyed reading “Teaching Spelling With Letter Tiles.” It gave me some fresh ideas and got my creative juices flowing. 🙂

  73. Loved Cobweb the Cat. I think my youngest would love learning to read with this book. I can’t believe that my youngest is almost ready to read!

  77. I would love to share the spelling book and the chocolate with my little homeschooler. Animals are always a big draw for him.
    Thanks!

  78. We love All About Spelling, and this reader is beautiful! I think my daughter would really enjoy the stories. Thank you for your generous offer!

  79. I have looked at All About Spelling articles in the past, but today took time to read the “What Doesn’t Work in Teaching Spelling” article again and it reminded me of why I love AAS so much! I appreciate that the publisher has taken time to research so many spelling programs, and it helped me to look back and see what we may have done in the past that didn’t work so well.
