Word Family Fun

I put together these word family cards for Olive to help her realize how many words she now knows. This activity also gave her confidence with learning how to spell.

Word Family Fun:
op, ight, unny, ing, ut, un, ow, it, ip, oy, old, uck, en,  et, eat, ed
Even if the word is spelling incorrectly like "hunny," I did not correct her.  I believe it's better to learn the sound of the word and then later learn the spelling rules. What suggestions do you have?

Vocab Builders

Here are four Halloween books that we enjoyed this weekend.

Corduroy's Trick or Treat, Haunted House, Boo Who?, and Happy Halloween- Picture Me.

We worked on making words with letters t, a, p, s, n.  I drew three rectangles for Olive to place the letters.

 To help build on the story words that we are learning with Wordly Wise K, Olive matched the vocab words with the pictures.  I also had her point to the word I said and then pick the correct photo.

We are currently reading Little House in the Big Woods, by Wilder. When we come to a word that she questions, we write it down on an index card, and add it to our "word box." We review these words weekly by learning definitions and using them in a sentence.
