 Reading
Activities
|
Read at least one book everyday with a
family member.
Carefully look at the front cover of the
book and the picture clues on each page
to see if they can help you predict the
words you will encounter. See if you can
find the word on the page.
Track each sentence with your finger, as
you or your parent reads each word.
Play a game with your reading partner,
by playing "I spy" a sight word or
multiple letter phonogram.
Tell your reading buddy the first,
middle or ending sound of a word in each
sentence.
Tap out each phonogram you see in words
you don't recognize.
Read the same book many times and see if
you can read more words by yourself each
time.
Read books about things you are
interested in.

Other Summer Writing Ideas
|
|
Here are some additional fun
ideas for you to do to incorporate
writing into a daily activity.
(SPELLING IS NOT AS IMPORTANT
AS UNDERSTANDING THAT EACH
LETTER(PHONOGRAM IS THE SYMBOL FOR THE
SOUND)
|
 Each morning, make a
number list of activities you will do in the
sequence you will do them by drawing a
picture next to the number and labeling the
activity.
Make grocery shopping lists. Draw a
picture of item and label writing each phonogram
as it is heard.
Write postcard or letters to pen pals
including friends from school. Start a letter
chain. Have mom/dad start you off by writing the
basic sentence and having you fill in the words
that make sense to you.
Write and draw in your journal about
what you did yesterday.
Working with Words
Make words by using your phonogram flash cards
or cutting up alphabet letters. Ask mom or dad
to select a few vowels and consonants for you to
create a word with. ie,,, t, p, a, r, c, f
...at, cat, pat, rat, fat, cap
Can you play I spy a phonogram? (Remember, a
phonogram is nothing more than the written
symbol for the sound heard in a word.)
Please practice phonograms, not only in
isolation while practicing with DVD or
powerpoint below, but also whenever reading or
writing.
