Home Print Environment

Along with labeling various objects throughout the house, you might take your child for a walk and ask them to point at the various signs they observe. To help them create such connections, you may demonstrate the words and imitate the letter sounds as you pronounce them.

Students will clip on the image that starts with the digraph using clothespins. They also get to work on their fine motor skills and phonics.

Exchange of Letters

In addition to letter tiles, students will receive a sheet of paper with various images on it. As students progress through the images, they must switch out one letter for another to form that word. To create the new word, they can switch the initial, middle, or final letter.

Letter Search for a Grocery Store

Give your child a letter when you take them shopping, and then they will have to create the letter's sound and look for various objects that start with it. They can even be given two or three options, and you can ask them which one they believe starts with that sound.

Five-Finger Retelling

Students will fill in the details on each finger after tracing their hand or offering them a hand. Every finger represents a distinct section of the narrative. The beginning, middle, end, characters, and setting.

KWL Diagram

Ask students to have a look at the front page of a book before they start reading it, and if it's a picture book, have them make a visual journey to see what they think will happen or what the book is about. Pupils will indicate what they wish to study and what they currently know. Once students have finished reading, they can apply what they have learned.

Make a Story Board

You can pause while reading a story with your child and make notes on significant points so you can refer to them later. Another way to get kids thinking is to make a narrative board that shows the various events that occurred in the story.

Vocabulary Journals

While you are reading to your child, you can fill in the gaps with new terms you encounter that they have never heard before. They can look back through the notebook and examine every new word they have learned after practicing the term in sentences.
