Rhyme to Read

Wednesday, May 14, 2014
I got the opportunity to review an AMAZING app!  It is called Rhyme to Read and was created by teachers!  You know it is good if teachers created it!

Fellow teachers know our immediate needs and reading is such a high priority in any grade especially in the beginning when those little ones are first learning how to decode.
In this app there are 20 books that students can click on from the home screen.  They are numbered and color coded by vowels!  Perfect if you are focusing on a certain vowel or word family for a given week!
In the book, the left side has a few words that will  be sounded out for you when you tap it and the right side has the story that can be read to you if you tap on the words.  Each word family ending is color coded based on the vowel book color.  GENIUS! 
On the top of the pages are sight words that you will find in the story on that specific page.  
So think about it-each word family word can be found in the various books PLUS the sight words are posted on each page if they are found in the passage on that page.  That means all those little kiddos have an amazing tool to teach them how to READ in a FUN way!  
I LOVE that the story #1 has a few words on each page and by book #20 you have a more complex story that includes more of the word family endings.
This app is $9.99 and worth every penny!  You are getting 20 books!  The school year is winding down, but would still be perfect for those kiddos who need extra practice!




Labeling, Word Families, and FREEBIES...oh my!

Thursday, February 7, 2013
What a day!  Happy tomorrow is Friday! :)  Today we practiced our labeling!  We are talking about neighborhoods and workers in our neighborhoods, so we did a community helper labeling sheet from my Community Helpers Pack!  I had my kinders do it all on their own.  I told them to focus on the beginning sounds!  They did great!



We have been working on word families and I felt like I needed to do MORE with them!  I was searching for ideas and saw some flashcards with our word family words on them.  I instantly thought my kiddos would LOVE these! Each kinder got their own sheet of words.  They cut them out and we went to the carpet.  They were so adorable laying out each card.  Once everyone was done I would say a word or sound out a word and they would find it and hold it up!  It seems way simple but they totally loved it and the best part was they got to take their cards home to practice!  I made cards like the ones we used just click on the picture!

Last but not least-A FREEBIE!  Enjoy!
