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. Advertising
Current status: This site does not display third-party advertising. There is no Google AdSense or any other ad network running on ShowAndTellLetter, and we receive no advertising revenue. The site's only commercial relationship is the affiliate programme described in Section 2 below.
If advertising is ever introduced, this page and our Privacy Policy will be updated before any ads go live, ads will be clearly labelled, and — because our content covers early-childhood education — any ad setup would apply child-directed treatment to limit personalisation.
2. Affiliate Links
This site participates in the Hooked on Phonics affiliate programme, operated through the Awin affiliate network. Pages that contain affiliate links to Hooked on Phonics display a clear disclosure box at the top of the page, such as:
All affiliate links on this site use rel="sponsored nofollow" and open in a new tab. 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 is always clearly disclosed near the recommendation — never buried in a footer.
What this does not change: affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial judgment. If we list drawbacks of a product, we list them honestly — including for affiliate partners. We do not fabricate first-hand testing claims; any product assessment on this site is based on publicly verifiable information (official features, pricing, published reviews) unless stated otherwise.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Testimonials and User Quotes
This site does not display testimonials or user reviews. If we ever add them, each will be a verified statement from an identifiable person, shown with permission.
Under the FTC's updated guidelines (effective 2023), we do not pay for, fabricate, or manipulate testimonials, and we do not suppress negative feedback.
7. Free Content Claims
When this site describes content as "free," it means:
- 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Accuracy and Updates
We strive to keep all content accurate and up to date. If you spot an error, an outdated recommendation, or a broken link, please let us know at info@showandtellletter.com and we will review it promptly.
