Ads help keep Teaching Alphabet Sounds free to read. Here is how they work, in plain language.
Our own ads
Every ad on the site today is our own house ad. Most promote storybooks, printables and activities from Kids Learning Essentials, our sister brand, and a few invite you to our newsletter. They link to kidslearningessentials.com or to our own pages, and they do not track you.
Ads never shape our guides
Our guides are written to help you teach, whether or not a product fits. When a guide mentions a Kids Learning Essentials product, we say that it is ours. We do not publish sponsored articles or paid placements from other companies. If we ever add affiliate links or sponsored content, we will label it clearly where it appears and update this page.
How to spot an ad
Every ad space on the site is labelled "Advertisement" in small letters above it. Ads appear near the top of pages, between guides on the home page and section pages, inside and after guides, beside guides on larger screens, and in a bar you can close at the bottom of phone screens.
If an ad network is added
If an advertising network, such as Google AdSense, Raptive or Mediavine, is ever added, the network chooses which ads appear, usually automatically. We would not pick individual ads, and showing an ad would not mean we endorse the product or the advertiser. This page and our Cookie Policy would explain the network's cookies and how to opt out, as described on Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, before its ads appear.
Reporting an ad
If you see an ad on the site that you find misleading or inappropriate, tell us through the Contact page with the page address and a short description, and we will look into it.
