Engaging rhymes is a fantastic memory tool. Why do you think you remember a song better than something you’re trying to remember? Set up the times tables as a rhyme or study a new language with a catchy tune. Chances are you both will learn and retain it for years to come. Rythem and Rhymes often come hand in hand. Use music to help your child remember verses or dates.

Letter E
What songs do you remember when you had your first kid? chances are even though you thought they were gone at the first baby activity or even in some of your child’s favorite storybooks. Row, Row, Row, Your Boat; Mary had a Little Lamb; The Wheels on the Bus; or Frere Jacques (Are You Sleeping) spring to mind for me.
Using this to my advantage I love using YouTube songs for the multiplication tables and plan to for the periodic table and any some of the basics when we start working on a second language.
Classical Conversations is a great place to start if you want a more musical and rhyming learning method.
The letter E is the fifth letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks egg, eat, and ear when he’s asked for an E words
Short E sounds like e and long sound Ee.
Activities and ideas:
- Make a transparent egg with a vinegar bath

Easter Egg Letter Matching Game
Do you have a ton of Easter eggs leftover from Easter? You can make these letter-matching eggs for Alphabet practice. Write the letters in upper and lower case on the eggs with a shape. To make it more difficult use different colors for the same letter, i.e. capital A on the orange and lowercase a on purple. Check out the idea on Mom Wife Busy Life.
We did this scavenger hunt for Easter but it’s fun for any season. Make your own clues and use rhymes or rhyming words to find the eggs. Grab this printable here to get started and have some fun.
Words that start with E
Vocabulary words are a great place to start with your new reader. Open up the dictionary and look for some good E words. Learning a few easy words, such as spelling words or just sight words will aid in the reading process. It’s much easier to read if you know what you’re reading.
Here are a few of our favorites:
- Egg
- Eat
- Even
- Elf

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
