Reading Charts

Getting my daughter to read books with me is so not an issue.  Getting her to try reading on her own, however, is.  She just thinks it's too hard to even try.  I asked a homeschooling lady I know with brilliant kids what I can do, and she told me to try reading charts.  She said that the kids obviously just recite the book from memory, but if they're pointing to the words and saying them, it will get easier and easier for them to learn.  So, we tried it once and it was awesome.  My little girl got a trip to the aquarium and learned to read a bunch of little words.  Rewards for both of us :)  Anyway, I thought I'd share some reading charts with you.  So bust out your crayons, stickers, and books and get reading

    I am so going to print one of these : ) On our last trip to the library we got some word bird books and Lina can "read" one of them already. She is so proud and I think that a couple of the words have stuck with her permenantly! But it does feel like frustrating hard work to her sometimes (she tells me she is just too little to do it) so perhaps a jazzy snazzy sticker chart will help it feel more fun : )

Book of Mormon Spot It

Image
For Christmas, we received the game Spot It.  We have not stopped playing it. It's basically a matching game,  but...more fun. So, I decided I'd give a shot at making a Book of Mormon Spot It game . The way you play is this: Each player gets a card. You flip one card from the main deck into the middle, and you try to find the picture on that card that matches yours. When you find it, you yell out the name of the picture and add that card to your pile. The first person to find their match, wins the card. Flip over another card from the deck into the middle and continue until you've used all the cards. Whoever has the most cards at the end wins! Here is a "Glossary" so you know what each of the pictures is actually supposed to be. They each correspond with a scripture.  You can download a PDF of the game here . Enjoy! P.S. Want another Book of Mormon game to play? Check out  Book of Mormon Swap Blocks  too!

Ice Cream Letters

I scream! You scream! We all scream for...the alphabet?  These can be felties, magnets, or just plain paper.  It's pretty simple.  Cut out the ice cream and the cones, bust out your crayons, color and match the upper case with the lower case.  Enjoy!

Book of Mormon Swap Blocks

Taking some inspiration from these super cute olliblocks ,  I made some Book of Mormon Swap blocks! You can print these out and glue them to one inch blocks, but since I want to use these in Sacrament Meeting and not be super loud, I turned them into magnets! First, download the swap blocks  here . Then just print, cut, stick to 1" magnetic tape, and cut again. Then, to make these super portable, and as well as have a surface to play on, (You know, if you actually get to sacrament and don't sit on a metal chair ) I put them all in a cute little altoids tin. Voila!  Enjoy!
