Whether you have a reluctant reader or a book worm, a reading challenge is always a good incentive to get your child reading – and keep them reading! My daughter happens to fall in the latter category; she’s never far from a book and usually has her nose stuck in one. I decided to make […]
Popsicle Stick & PomPom Bookmarks
This little craftivity was the perfect thing to do when stuck inside one hot day. Lorelai enjoyed making up her own “funky creature” bookmarks. Now that she’s reading more and more, these really came in handy. We made quite a few creature bookmarks. Lorelai insisted on using tape on a couple of hers, which was […]
Reading Challenge with Printable
My daughter is a reader. A beginner reader, but a reader, nonetheless. She has gotten more and more confident in her sounding out abilities as of late, that I decided to give her even more incentive to pick up her books and dive into them. I created a reading challenge for her. Once she hits […]
Sight Word Magnets with Printable
This project has been in the back of my mind for weeks now. Lorelai is really great about sounding out words, but she has been struggling with comprehending the sentences she reads. There are also some words that can’t be sounded out correctly, that she struggles with. Flashcards aren’t her forte, so I made some […]
Word Practice: Zoo Edition
I made another beginner word practice sheet for Lorelai, but this time Zoo-Themed. Instead of restricting it to certain word group (like with the Pirate Printable), I left the entire thing blank. Laminate or stick in a pocket protector sheet to use many times. 🙂 Lorelai and I did “at”, “an”, and “it” words today. […]
Ocean Worksheets
I made these two ocean-themed print-outs for Lorelai to use for practice. The first one is a tracing sheet with ocean-themed words. She went over them in marker. You can laminate the printable or use a sheet protector to get more than one use out of it! Sorry, the quality isn’t the best in the […]
{ Pasta Words }
We actually did this one last week, I just never got around to posting it. We had a TON of leftover pasta from our dyed pasta experiment, so when I wanted to refresh Lorelai on two-letter sight words, I broke out the bag and let her ‘make’ words with it. I used the same words […]
Beginning Blends Printable
I wanted to incorporate some actual learning into our theme this week, so I made a transportation-themed printable. This one focuses on blended letters that come at the beginning of words. For instance, as shown above, FL ~ flower. My goal was to put a consonant blend in front of Lorelai and have her sound […]
Making Words & Blending Letters Printable
I’ve been wanting to make a printable like this for a while now. Pirate week seemed to be the perfect time to do this since the theme isn’t one that consists of a lot of learning… so I figured I’d add mesh the two! Lorelai FLEW through this one since we’ve worked a ton on […]
2-Letter Beginner Sight Words
I made some weather-themed, 2-letter beginner sight words printable. Lorelai knows most of these words but it’s nice to have them on hand as flashcards. As mentioned, these can be cut out and used a flashcards. I provided light lines on the printable to cut out in uniform squares, or you could just cut out […]
