No wonder the brain develops more between 0 and 8 than any other time in life! So much to master!
We made it fun with a little song, sung to the tune of Farmer in the Dell.
I took the time to introduce the 'sound' and 'word' box. We looked at how both 'i' and 'a' are both sounds and 'words. I did not labour this point, it is fast pace teaching, and I will revisit it many times over this year.
These coloured cards are a big part of the way I start to teach reading - from a phonics base.
The 123 Train resource I have on TpT is next on my list to update. It was one of the first 'cvc' products on TpT back in the day when NO CLIPART was available - eeek! I made do with some images I could gather up, but I can't wait to freshen it up and make it look fit for 2017! If you have it, stay tuned for a brand spanka very soon!
I have had emails and messages on Instagram asking where these resources come from - they are in my TpT store and the bundle is on sale this week! Find it by clicking on the image below.
I've prepared a bonus worksheet for you to add to the collection, simply click below to find it in Google Drive!
