I’d love to be able to shop around for the best price always, but have you actually taken the time to do the price checking? Here are some examples of how Educents is cheaper than Amazon, after all saving cash on something means you can buy more!
It takes a long time to get done, there are so many sites that I check, looking for the best price. That’s the time that I’d rather spend playing with my kids, chasing them around the pool, and such.
I received a list of items that are cheaper on Educents, (one of my favorite online stores for educational resources) than on Amazon. I was shocked to find some items were $100 cheaper on Educents than Amazon. So, of course I wanted to share this time-and-money-saving list with you!

Hi Ashley,
I really like your organic method of teaching, using everyday activities, like cooking to teach math and reading, even science. It’s very admirable to see your attention to your children’s activities.
I’m a retired teacher of over 26 years, specializing in the primary grades. I loved working with the little kids – they’re so sweet! I’m in the process of creating a reading website and would invite you to look at it.
I’m a firm believer in Phonics and would just add that learning phonics is so important to learning spelling, writing as well as reading.
I love the information that you have on the books you recommend for children’s reading as well as your teaching books.
Keep up the good work, you’re doing a great job!
