Flummoxed on how to make a spinner for some of our after reading activities? No worries, I got you!
To make a simple spinner all you need is a paperclip and a pencil. Put the point of the pencil through the center of one end of the paperclip and touch the pencil to the center of the spinner circle. Hold the pencil tight and flick the paper clip to spin. Check out the video below to see just how I do it.
Happy spinning!
We are so used to reading that sometimes we can’t remember how we break down the sounds in a word. I remember when I started teaching my son to read (my oldest learned all her letter sounds in a preschool for teacher’s kids while I was still teaching Special Education) and feeling a little lost on the simplest thing – what does this letter say!?!
Well have no fear! I’ve put together a beginner’s chart to help you AND your child remember what the letter’s sounds are.
This sound chart features the first letter sounds learned in a systematic phonics approach. We begin with each letter’s most common sound and the short vowels. Y is not yet presented as a vowel.
You will also receive access to my videos showing each letters sound and a how to on practicing the letter sounds, because, yes, there IS a right and wrong way!
