Hands-on learning made fun

Reading With Ruby Week #3

I have really enjoyed helping Ruby learn how to read these past three weeks.  The growth that I have seen since week 1 until now has been AMAZING!  If you would like to see the progress of her journey, follow the links:
Week 1
Week 2
Here are the activities for week 3:

Sight Words (high frequency words): We always start with reviewing our sight words and adding our new words.  At the end of three weeks, she has mastered 18 sight words: look, see, funny, big, come, is, little, down, my, jump, run, blue, can, make, and yellow. (here, help, and, and for the next book)

Why did I pick these 15 sight words?  My short term (3 week) goal is to have Ruby read the Dick and Jane book, We Look.  These are all the sight words needed for this book.  I have made a list of the sight words needed to read the Dick and Jane series here.

Sight Words: We continue to sing our sight words to the tune of BINGO and review our letter sounds.

I used some plastic Easter eggs and wrote the word families from each Word Family book.  For example, on the right side, you write at, and on the left side you write c, b, m, r, s, h, p.  When the girls twisted the egg, it read: cat, bat, mat, rat, sat, hat, and pat.

 Then I had the girls write each word they made after twisting the plastic egg.

Sight Words: They made sight words from glue and cherrios.  Squeezing those glue bottles helps to build up the muscles needed to write!   They had a fun time with this craft.

They thought it would be a good idea to use their snack (popcorn) to make their last sight word.
NOTE: It doesn’t work as well… the popcorn falls off!  But they still learned their sight word and enjoyed eating the popcorn;)

    3. Looks like a fun week!

      Have you tried CVC bingo? I have used it before with ESL students and it is always a hit!!

      We did counting bears last week for the first time- my tot was not interested in sorting them into colours just yet but he will get there eventually (I hope!)
