My boys love getting mail. Unfortunately, the only time they get anything addressed to them is during birthday and Christmas season. We recently participated in a new program that combines early reading learning and the excitement of getting mail addressed to my kids twice a month! It is called the Tessy & Tab Reading Club, and it really has changed the way my kids see reading.
Based on the six skills for early literacy, the Tessy & Tab Reading Club is the first kids magazine subscription that promotes early independent reading for preschool children. The sturdy magazine (think really thin board book) has an easy to read large print story, brightly-colored illustrations, visual learning pages featuring a letter and a number, a "find these things" page, and a coloring picture! The program is perfect for any child ages 2-6 and makes a great gift.
My boys scream when they find out that they have received their "mail!" They open their magazines (sent in a sturdy personalized envelope) and sit in the easy chair to read next to one another. They like to pull out their "mail" often during the week and reread the magazines over and over.
Subscribing parents will also receive a comprehensive guide to building early reading skills at every age, useful tips with each issue and craft ideas & printable literacy activity sheets to do with your child. The parent resources are a perfect compliment to the program, and can be integrated into a summer school, preschool, or homeschool learning curriculum.
As an added bonus feature, there is also an online section for kids that features games, printables, and coloring fun.
We really loved this program, and we look forward to receiving the rest of our subscription over the next few months!

The magazines look fun!
The contest is all linked up!
Looks like a great toolkit.
There is a kindergarten checklist in the toolkit.
I would really like to get a look at the kindergarten checklist!
This does sound great! You get 5 Tessy and Tab magazines in the kit...how fun! :) And I'm all linked up on my blog to this contest too! :)
I liked this one--Parent's Guide to Building Early Reading Skills
This sounds awesome for my kindergartener!! There is an Award-Winning DVD in the toolkit as well!
How cool! My daughter would love the countdown dvd that's in there as well! I'll be posting about the contest this week as well :)
It looks like a great magazine. I would love to try it. I think my son would love it.
Forgot to post that not only would she love this, but the magazine would be her favorite part. I think I'd find the Kindergarten checklist most useful.

The entire package looks fantastic and I know that my 4 yr. old grandson would love the 5 Tessy & Tab magazines. Thank you for the opportunity to win this:)
I'm working with a special needs pre-schooler and his toddler sister. The Five Tessy & Tab Reading Club Magazines look like they would be perfect for working toward some of the behavior goals we've established for the little guy!
Hi, My great-nephew would enjoy receiving this fun mail. He is just starting kindergarten this fall. In the kit, you get 5 Tessy and Tab magazines. Thanks, Cindi
