Show your child 3 nonsense words and ask them to read them. It is ok if they need to break them down by sounds, but the goal is they can fluently read the word even if it doesn’t make sense.
While you are reading with your child, ask them to change one of the phonemes in a word to make it a silly, nonsense word.
Read "Runny Babbit" by Shel Silverstein or "There’s a Wocket in My Pocket" by Dr. Seuss together with your child. Use the text as a chance to practice hearing and playing with nonsense words.
Write the words on post-it notes or pieces of paper and hide them in different parts of the home. Have your child find them and read them to you.
Write the words on paper and have your child point to the word you call out.
Find the words in the books you read with your child or the books they read independently. They might use a post-it note to show where they see their sight words.
Finger stretch and blend the words. Practice spelling the word out loud and notice and name when there is a heart part of the word.
Have your child write the word and help them find the tricky part of the word and label it with a heart like we did today.
