This activity can be differentiated by pairing a high reader with a lower reader or pairing children on the same reading level to reread a familiar text. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2408565980 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2408567473 Reading to your child at home is a fantastic way to build their fluency.

You can ask them to tell you about two words that rhyme or provide them with a word that they have to connect a rhyming word with. Building letters out of play-doh is tons of fun and educational.

They can then connect it to letter and sound work they have learned. ]]> 2022-12-05 04:49:55 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2408602461 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413599731 2022-12-07 23:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413599731 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413602726 2022-12-07 23:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413602726 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413604378 2022-12-08 00:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413604378 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413607007 2022-12-08 00:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413607007 malalexander86 https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413610137 2022-12-08 00:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/malalexander86/otnqamv0wiytr6g7/wish/2413610137
