Inside: Use this I am Kind to Mom Mother’s Day Emergent Reader to celebrate all the ways we can be kind to moms and mother figures. 


When I worked as a florist in college, the busiest day wasn’t Valentine’s Day. It was Mother’s Day.

Around the world, people young and old show kindness and love to moms and mother figures on at least one day of the year. 

And while we can all agree that moms don’t get nearly enough recognition and relaxation and kindness they deserve, we can do a small something about it…we can teach kids how to show more kindness to moms year round, but especially in May.

To help them understand all the different ways to show love and kindness to Mother’s Day, we can use this I am Kind to My Mom Emergent Reader set. 

Use this i am Kind to Mom Emergent reader to read about all the ways to show kindness to mom...it also comes with a special person version.

Other Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day with Kindness

We love this Mother’s Day Poem we can use as a gift for moms on Mother’s Day or use as a card. It comes with 6 different versions for a mom, mama, mommy, mum, mama, and special person. 

Kids can write or copy or dictate their answers to make a sweet keepsake of what kids know and think about their mom.
