Disclosure Statement
We believe in full transparency. This page explains how ShowAndTellLetter earns (or does not earn) money, how content is selected, and what you should know about links, recommendations, and testimonials on this site.
1. Google Advertising (AdSense)
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense, a third-party advertising programme operated by Google LLC. This represents a commercial relationship: we receive payment when ads are viewed or clicked on this site.
How ads are selected
With your consent, Google uses cookies and browsing data to show personalised ads. Without consent (or if you opt out), Google shows contextual or non-personalised ads instead. Ad revenue helps us keep all educational content, printables, and resources free to access.
COPPA and child-directed content
Because this site covers preschool and kindergarten education, we apply child-directed treatment settings in Google AdSense. This instructs Google to limit ad personalisation and restrict the types of ads shown. We do not knowingly serve interest-based advertising on pages that may be accessed alongside young children.
How to control advertising cookies
Use the cookie preference panel (shown on first visit, or available via Privacy Policy) to accept or decline advertising cookies at any time. You can also use Google Ad Settings or the NAI opt-out tool to opt out of personalised ads network-wide.
2. Affiliate Links
Current status: No affiliate links are active on this site.
ShowAndTellLetter does not currently participate in any affiliate programme, including the Amazon Associates Programme or any other retailer affiliate scheme. We do not earn a commission from any book, product, or resource we recommend.
If we introduce affiliate links in the future, every affected post or page will be updated with a clear disclosure at the top, such as:
In accordance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), any material connection between this site and a recommended product will always be clearly disclosed.
2. Sponsored Content
Current status: No sponsored content exists on this site.
ShowAndTellLetter has not received payment, free products, or any other compensation in exchange for content placement, reviews, or recommendations. All content is produced independently.
If sponsored content is published in future, it will be clearly labelled "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" at the top of the post.
3. Book and Product Recommendations
Books, craft supplies, and activity ideas mentioned on this site are selected solely based on their educational value and suitability for preschool and kindergarten children. We receive no compensation, free samples, or incentives for any recommendation.
Book titles and authors are referenced for informational and educational purposes. Mention of a book does not imply endorsement of the publisher, author, or any retailer.
4. YouTube and External Video Links
This site links to YouTube videos as educational references for phonics songs and learning activities. These links are editorial recommendations only. We have no commercial relationship with YouTube, Google, or any channel creator whose content we reference.
YouTube videos linked from this site are subject to YouTube's own Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. We do not control the content of external videos and recommend adults preview any video before sharing with children.
5. Testimonials and User Quotes
Any testimonials, quotes, or user stories displayed on this site are intended to illustrate typical experiences of parents, teachers, and homeschoolers who use letter-of-the-week activities with young children.
Important: If testimonials have not been individually verified as statements from identifiable real users, they represent composite or illustrative examples and should not be treated as confirmed individual endorsements. We are committed to replacing illustrative examples with verified real testimonials as the community grows, and will clearly mark all testimonials as either "Verified review" or "Illustrative example".
Under the FTC's updated guidelines (effective 2023), we do not pay for, fabricate, or manipulate testimonials, and we do not suppress negative feedback.
6. Free Content Claims

- No payment is required to access or download the resource
- No account registration is required for basic access
- No credit card or trial subscription is involved
Some resources may require you to provide an email address to receive a download link via newsletter. This will always be clearly stated before you submit your email.
7. Editorial Independence
All content on ShowAndTellLetter is created, edited, and published by the site's editorial team without outside influence. No advertiser, brand, publisher, or third party has control over our content, recommendations, or editorial decisions.
8. Educational Content Notice
Content on this site is designed for general educational inspiration and is not a substitute for professional advice from a qualified educator, speech-language pathologist, paediatrician, or special education specialist. Always adapt activities to the individual needs, abilities, and safety requirements of each child.
