Shannon Ali, M.A., CCC-SLP Christian Certified Teacher & Certified Speech-Language Pathologist, Kindergarten Readiness Teacher
Hey Mama! Welcome to Keys to Kindergarten Readiness I’m Shannon Ali. Daughter of the King, Wife, mom of 3 littles, teacher, speech-language pathologist, and kindergarten readiness expert! I remember what it felt like during the Covid lockdown in 2020, my husband was still working, and I was home by myself with our 3 year old, 1 year old, and a newborn baby girl all while still teaching school online. Needless to say, it was a crazy time, but I am thankful for God’s grace and lessons during that time. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my role as a mom. I didn’t know how to nurture my children’s gifts. I was putting academics in front of God’s Word, and we didn’t have a sense of discipline, organization, or family in our home even though it looked perfect from the outside. Then, I went into my Bible & back to my college books. I taught my then 3 year old how to read with quick easy lessons, and he tested off the charts for acceptance into the top school and preschool gifted program. I taught my kids about several black inventors to teach them perseverance and to build their self-esteem. I taught them life skills to help me around the house and to help them become more independent and confident. Most importantly, I grew deeper in my personal faith, and I was able to start planting seeds in my children’s hearts and teach them so much about God. Solutions I’m here to teach you everything I know about faith, family, and fun learning. In this podcast, you will learn: -Ways to help your child build a personal relationship with Jesus -Tips for positive parenting, life skills, and building a stronger family -Engaging on-the-go strategies for teaching your child everything they need to know to be ready for kindergarten even when you’re busy Learn: www.keystokindergartenreadiness.com Connect: keystokindergartenreadiness@gmail.com Community: https://bit.ly/3K8RTP3 Facebook: Keys to Kindergarten Readiness

Listen to the last episode:
My boys seem like they are obsessed with video games, and I absolutely cannot stand it. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that we all have something we can become addicted to if we are not careful. During VBS this summer, I had the opportunity to teach all the children about this very thing. This world is full of idols and one of our jobs as moms is to teach our children about not worshiping false idols. Today, I am going to tell you all about teaching your child about our BIG GOD and how this can help with reducing idols for your child AND for you! Let's Dig In! Shout to my friend Jen Strange for putting together this curriculum. Sources/References/Related Reading: Laferton, Carl. The God Contest. Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri.
