Practice Spelling and Vocabulary with Word Ladders

Post by Rebecca Reid Leave a Comment

This week I’ve fallen in love with word links (also called word ladders, word golf, or doublets): games that change just one letter at a time to get to a completely different word. The game of word links were created by Lewis Carroll in 1877. My son, although a very strong reader, did struggle with vocabulary […]

ABC Letter Tiles

Post by Rebecca Reid 2 Comments

Matching abc letter tiles to a template is a great fine motor practice activity and also a great early literacy activity for early reading and spelling.

My son and I enjoy playing Scrabble and other word-building games. But while we are playing, I needed to find a way to keep my 2-year-old happy, without her grabbing our tiles! To keep her busy, I created some word templates for her to enjoy building words too. ABC Letters Tiles are fun for all letter-recognition […]

A Picture Book Lesson to Teach Metaphors in Poetry

Post by Rebecca Reid 2 Comments

I’ve been creating units for kindergarten using picture books to introduce the poetic concepts of rhythm, rhyme, and metaphor. Today I thought I’d write about another picture book that would help in teaching older children about metaphors in poetry: Red Sings from Treetops by Joyce Sidman and illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski.

Homeschool Learning Through Routines and Extras

Post by Rebecca Reid

It's rough to get back in to a homeschool learning routine, but once we get the routines down and find ways to learn from our homeschooling extras, our weeks can go smoothly!

It’s so hard to get back in to the groove after a vacation. The last thing we wanted to do was head back to homeschool. But this week, we turned to old routines and found ways to learn from our “extras”, and it turned out to be a fantastic, learning-packed week! 

Spanish Basics: Spanish Alphabet and Spanish Calendar Chart

Post by Rebecca Reid 1 Comment

We use wall cards and a daily calendar tracking page to practice learning Spanish basics vocabulary/.

My fifth grader and I are working on basic conversation in Spanish, while my kindergartner and I are at the other end of the learning spectrum: we’re focusing on basics like learning the alphabet, the days of the week, and other calendar words. Our alphabet wall cards and the calendar tracking page (and cards) help […]
