Breakfast and Books from Kellogg's and Scholastic Giveaway

My daughter is currently in the 3rd grade. This year is especially monumental since this is the first year children are required to read, comprehend and answer all test questions independently. For adults this may not seem so daunting but for students this is a huge responsibility. Students with lower reading levels will not do as well as students who excel in reading. Now it's more important than ever to have children reading and increasing their reading levels.
For us the best way to get my daughter reading is by offering a variety of books she is interested in. Reading anything is better than reading nothing. Every month she comes home excited with a Scholastic catalog and has her favorite books circled. I love ordering through Scholastic. Not only does it help my daughters school but it's the same company my mother ordered books for me from when I was a kid.


Wondering how to take a great thing and make it better? Well, Wal-mart has teamed up with Scholastic and Kellogg's promote reading! Only at Wal-mart will you find specially marked packages of Kellogg's products that contain a code, codes can be entered and redeemed for books on the Scholastic website. Two Kellogg's products can score you a $5 coupon! Even better there is no limit to the number of codes you can enter and the redemption period doesn't end until 7/12/11! That's enough to keep your child reading all school year!


Want to get started with reading in a big way? You have the opportunity to win 4 books and 5 full size specially marked Kellogg's products! That means your on your way with 5 free codes! And last but not least a $15 Wal-Mart gift card! This is huge!


To enter: Must be a follower of my site and leave a comment on their child's favorite book, or their favorite book to read to their child(ren).
This is required for an entry into the giveaway and must be done before the extra entries count.

Chore and Behavior Charts from Goal For It Review

I had recently become interested in Chore Charts and Behavior Charts for my children. My daughter is in elementary school and is at an age where she has become interested in allowances. Our struggle was she seems to have difficulty staying on task and completing her daily chores. I began searching for charts that would help her. I wasn't able to find anything like what I had pictured in my head. Many charts were not customizable and didn't fit into our routine.

I was introduced to GoalForIt.com and was really impressed. They offer many charts and to do list and they are all customizable and even better they are FREE! The process is really simple, after siging up you go through a series of questions and customize your chart. I really love that I could choose what I wanted on our chart and the order, and was also able to include behavior and healthy habits all on one chart. There is even an option to make a custom tile if you don't see what your looking for.

I really think this is a great site for parents and children to help make goals visible. My daughter can look on her chart to see what is expected of her and can work towards her rewards. I enjoy that I can print out a copy for her, or can do it all on the computer with "stickers" the program offers. It has been so great that I am working on a chart for my 3 year old with small goals for him to work towards.

Overall Goal For It is a great site for the entire family. Teens and adults can also use the site to set goals for themselves. Parent's and children can use it to create goals and to help kids stay on task. Being able to visually look at a "to do" list has really helped my daughter and has minimized frustrations for everyone. She loves being able to work towards something and see her accomplishments and areas she may need to work on a little harder. I would recommend Goal For It to all my friends.

I was offered compensation in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed are mine.
