Write and Stick a Sound
Guest Post by Becky of This Reading Mama
My son {currently 4 years onetime} loves to "practice school" at home. He asks for it quite often, which warms my heart! He's also my child that likes to get into things {like the time he and his sis conspired to pluck 25 keys off the laptop…*sigh*}. On his recent mission to empty the junk depict in the kitchen, he happened upon some glutinous notes. He wanted to write on them, which gave me an idea- "Write and Stick a Sound"!
This game is SUPER Easy to play and takes hardly whatsoever prep time at all, a wonderful affair for a decorated mama like me. All that's needed are viscous notes and a writing utensil.
We went into our playroom and the game was on! To brainstorm with, I modeled how to play.
1. We get-go looked around the room and picked objects together. We isolated the commencement sounds like this /d/-/d/-doll or /g/-/g/-gears. He was ready!
2. I wrote downwards ad on the sticky note and stuck it on the doll. I wrote down athousand and stuck it on the gears.
iii. Merely then I added a twist. Me: "This time, I'm going to think of something and you accept to effigy out what it is. I will look effectually the room and pick something. I'grand going to remember of the sound I hear at the beginning of it and write downward the letter that makes that audio on my sticky note. Yous take to see if you can effigy out what I'm thinking of and stick my letter to it. {Kind of like "I Spy".}
iv. I wrote anlfor lamp and he walked around the room saying, "/l/-/50/-/l/" until he got to the lamp. He stuck the sticky notation on the lamp. If he had picked another object that started with 50, I would have said something similar, "Yes! Ladybug does commencement with anl, merely that's not what I was thinking of."
Now, information technology was his turn! Before too long our playroom had viscous notes ALL over information technology- such an awesome sight to see.
Games like this are groovy, but if your child isn't prepare for it, don't force information technology. These are the ways I knew my son was prepare to play:
- He has worked all school year through a Pre-Thousand reading curriculum I designed for him calledReading the Alphabet. In information technology, I focused heavily on deepening his power to hear sounds within words, especially starting time sounds.
- I often hear him "playing" with sounds in words on his own, isolating different sounds in words.
- He knows how to write all his letters {mostly uppercase}
- He likes to sound out and invent the spelling of words and phrases, such as "I HRD A HN." {I heard a horn."}
Accommodation: If you feel your child isn't quite ready to tackle "Write and Stick a Audio", adapt information technology by doing the steps together instead of making it a guessing game. Yous could as well write the letters instead of asking your kid to do it.
