Yesterday I was confused as to which steps I should take next with my daughter at home to get her ready for Kindergarten. She knows her letters, sounds, and for the most part how to write them. So I asked my mom who is the know it all of children's literacy what next.
She told me to have her make some little books. The purpose of these was to practice sight words and creative spelling.
So this is what we came up with. Now I don't know if I'm doing it exactly right but it was a good effort and I'm proud of it!
The picture above is of my daughter running in the sprinklers. It reads I can run in the sprinklers. This is because we are working on the sight words I can and the right now and she creatively spelled sprinklers but ran out of room and had to write some letters under other ones. If you look closely you can figure it out!
Anyhow I hope this helps with anyone who is trying to take their first steps to reading and writing as well.
My Mom also gave me a list of sight words to start with. I, can, we, the, like, a, see, go, to, have, is, play, are, for, you, this, do, and, what, little, said, here, was, she, he, has, look, with, my, me, where. I hope this helps = ).
