Build an early literacy system that actually sticks.

Jillayna, Preschool Teacher
"Thankful for all the knowledge you have been sharing. We love our letter cycles and whole body letter learning. I had a parent just this week mention she had noticed her three year old was picking up letter sounds so fast!"
Amelia, Preschool Teacher
“I have loved watching how the children in my classroom have responded to her 'Moving Little Minds' letter cards. They are excited about learning the names of letters and letter sounds. This program is great for all learning styles- visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. I’m thankful for her expertise and the way she has helped me grow in my teaching skills."
Laura, Preschool Parent
"Literacy has a new meaning in our house! We get so many fresh ideas from Ms. Melissa that make early reading and letter recognition so fun. I love how she makes everything into a game, from letter sound song and play, to letter forming with tools you most likely have around the house...It’s brought a new perspective to my parenting and has put a new spin on literacy as a whole for me."
