Language & Literacy with Mother Goose Time!


I’ve shared a lot of the activities that Miss M has been doing with our Mother Goose Time curriculum. Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about one of the learning categories that are covered using this program – Language & Literacy.



Each month, Mother Goose Time includes a storybook that goes along with that theme. Here are the books we’ve received so far with our monthly boxes.


These books are so great and Miss M just loves reading them over and over.

Miss M still has delays with her speech and is currently going to speech therapy, but I can see a big improvement in just the 7 months that we’ve been using Mother Goose Time in addition to her therapy.
Before MGT, she was barely speaking at all and would constantly get super frustrated because she was unable to communicate very well. Now she talks up a storm! Well tries to anyways. She’s still a little hard to understand sometimes (I can understand her fairly well because I’m around her the most), but she’s definitely much more vocal now. She’s still very quiet and doesn’t speak much if at all around new people or strangers but that’s pretty normal for a lot of young children from what I’ve been told.


There are so many language & literacy tools included every month! Some other tools besides just the story books are the monthly CD’s, storytelling scenes & pieces, letter flags, hands-on letters, phonic photo cards, nametags, sight word pointers and labels, My Little Journal, I Can Read books, and much more!



Another wonderful thing that Mother Goose Time provides is a suggested book list for the month. Each day has a book suggestion to go along with the topic for that day’s lesson. This is so great and a big time saver!
You can find the full lists in the member resources on mothergoosetime.com that you can save or print out or the books are also listed in the Planning Journal under each day’s activities.
