Let’s Read together!

The first video will help introduce you to the book Rain! This is the book that we read together in live reading groups this week on iLearn. You can re-watch for a review, or if you missed reading with me, you can catch up here.

This video is here for you to read the book on your own.

Rhyming fun

If you want your child to be a successful reader (and of course you do!), it’s so important that you know how to teach your child to rhyme. Rhyming is a super-important skill that can be taught with two of my favorite things: books and games.

Below is a HUGE list of nursery rhymes that you may be familiar with.

This link will take you to the story “Green Eggs and Ham”. Can you hear the rhyming words in the story?

This video is a fun way to practice rhyming while getting some exercise!

iLearn and Big Blue Button

A sight word game to make and play!

Name of the game: Don’t Get Skunked!

**If you do not have a printer, you can still play this game by writing the sight words on small pieces of paper or cards…don’t forget to include “skunk” cards.
Directions:
Each player takes a turn by choosing a card, one at a time. If the player is able to read the card, he/she can keep it. Otherwise it goes back into the pile. If a player gets skunked (chooses a skunk card) the player needs to return all of his cards to the pile. The player with the most cards at the end of the game is the winner.
