The idea for this great word family game came from The Snail's Trail.
I wasn't sure if O was ready for this game, but she recently started covering up parts of words while we were reading and asking what the words were. She LOVES doing this, so I thought this word family game would be fun for her. I was happy to see that I was right! O LOVES this game. She has read more than a hundred words, and thoroughly enjoys herself. She's been obsessed with rhyming words for close to a year, so that makes this game even more perfect for her. Check out The Snail's Trail for directions and a list of word families.
That is really cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun activity. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI've seen this before, but forgot all about it! Thanks for the reminder. My son is getting to the right age for this!
ReplyDeletei think this is an awesome idea...have you seen the book "one boy" by laura vacarro seager? it is this concept. --Lisa
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion for those who want to try this project and need a lot of paint chips - most paint stores/departments sell a "fan-dex" of paint chips for cheap - you can buy an entire sample of a paint line - hundreds of chips - for $5-$10. It avoids you feel like you are "stealing" when you take lots of paint chips with no intention of buying paint.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! My little one is learning to read with phonics system. This will be a fun activity for him. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy little one is at just the right stage for this too, thanks!
