2. then and Rainbow Words Reading
When you read with your child try….
Having them point to the word while they read
Having them refer to the picture clues when trying to figure out words
Having them use beginning sounds to figure out words
Having them stretch sounds together to sound out a word
To read like they are excited if they see an exclamation mark and raise their voice like asking something when they see a question mark
Closing the book after reading and retell everything you have read in sequence.
* Sounding out to write – try tapping or clapping out three letter words and writing what you hear.
*Sound out to write sentences – remember space between words, spell rainbow words correctly, period at the end.
*Practice addition problems using numbers 5 or less. We need to be able to answer these without fingers or manipulatives.
*Write numbers Try writing in sand on a cookie sheet, with a variety of tool s(pens, markers, crayons) or in shaving cream
*Practice rainbow words – try laying all the words we have had so far on the table face up, have one person say a word, and your child and another player try to slap it with two fingers first, the most cards at the end wins.
*Read, read, read
