Sight Words Progress Board

3/29/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
Supplies Needed; Fish shapes, poster board, green streamers, small stickers, a black pen and glue.


Directions;
Write a sight word on each fish and glue them to the poster board. Glue streamers to the bottom of the board to imitate kelp. 


As the child reads each sight word, add a sticker to that fish. This will let you know their strengths and weaknesses, and allow them to feel accomplished.

Paint Sample Spelling

3/29/2014

Picture
This was a quick and easy way to teach children about word sounds, rhyming, and early reading. We used print outs of simple words (see templates below), a large hole punch, and a little paste to create these. Ask the child to sound out the first word, then slide the paint sample down to create new words. 

*be sure to number the backs of the lists and paint samples so that they don't get used on different papers.

Play Dough Literacy

10/26/2013

0 Comments

 
Picture
 This simple project helps children learn the shapes of the letters. It will help them develop writing and reading skills. Working the play dough develops fine motor skills  that will be used for writing as well as hand eye coordination. While they put the play dough onto the letter tell them the letter name and the sounds it makes. This will help them associate the sound of the letter with the shape giving them the skills they will need to sight read.
       It is important to introduce literacy at an early age. You can do this by exposing them to print in multiple areas of their life, such as letter magnets, books, posters with words, and songs about letters.

What Comes Out of Your Books?

10/26/2013

Imagination plays an important role in brain development. Reading and creating stories help children learn to think on their own and connect several thoughts together. Encourage children to elaborate their stories. Ask them why their characters performed certain actions, or how their invention works. 
Picture
  Some Children may need help starting, give them a picture to explain, or a few sentences to get them started. Most important give  them plenty of time to read! While reading they have to fill in the missing information. 

    "In the city of Ember, the sky was always dark. The only light came from great floodlamps mounted on the buildings and at the tops of poles in the middle of the larger squares. When the lights were on, they cast a yellowish glow over the streets; people walking by threw long shadows that shortened and then stretched out again." - The City of Ember, by Jeanne DuPrau

     The story has great description sparking imagination, but leaves room for the children to fill in the blanks. They fill in what the buildings look like, what the streets are made from, and what the people creating the shadows look like.
 
Picture
 Imagination and creativity will take a child far, the world was once flat, entire populations didn't exists; it takes an imagination to see the possibilities of the future.
