Seeing Sight Words

Here's another thing that I had no intention of doing with the boy this year- sight words! But he's keen and I go where he goes. It was his choice to have them on cards, his choice to write them on the whiteboard- he does it often! He likes to pick out the letters that he has done a good job of writing. :-)  And he does it well.... I'm just a little bit proud of my little smart cookie!

Nursery Rhymes and Poems

Each week one of our activities is to add a nursery rhyme or poem to the book we have for such things. We try and read it most days and Tama colours the illustration... purple sheep? Why not?

Reading ~ Home made books

Getting some reading in with one of our home-made books. This one has a line of text that I read at the top and a corresponding line that Tama reads at the bottom. It's called 'Tama loves...'. You can see it on my other blog here.

Reading

'Reading' to himself is not something that Tama chooses to do for play very often so it always makes me pretty happy when he does.

We made a book!

 

Tama and I came up with a list of things that he can do together. Then we went and took the photos together with Kieran as a slightly unwilling participant being the only other person in the house to get kissed and cuddled. I pulled all Tama's ideas and my photos together in photoshop* and in 10 days time for the grand sum of $10 we'll have the complete 6x8 inch photobook awaiting us for pick-up at Big W.  (* You could easily do this project without photoshop- just using the photobook editing tools online).

 

  

 

Reading

Everyday it looks like this...

Without fail every 'home' day at home school involves some reading. Often it's what we start our day with. Each reading our own, me reading to him, or him reading to me. Or all three.
