List of Kindergarten Snap Words:
Please practice your snap words weekly and even daily once the year gets under way. Begin with letter recognition and move on to snap words as your child is ready. We will be working on learning these words in class as well!
Some helpful links to practice your letters and snap words are:

Ways to practice reading a word:
Body spell your letters (Reach your arms UP for letters that touch the skyline, squat DOWN for letters that dip below the grass line and JUMP for letters with dots or for apostrophes. Dab, or make a pose, when you repeat the word.)
Spell down your arm (Put your hand on your shoulder and pat down your arm as you say each letter, making your way to your wrist. Slide your hand down when you repeat the word)
Pound it (Pound your fist into your hand as you say each letter. Clap when you repeat the word.)
Skywrite it (Reach your writing hand in front of you with two fingers pointing, and your opposite hand on your shoulder. Trace each letter writing your word in the air. Slide your finger as if to underline it as you repeat the word)
Handwrite it (With your finger on your palm, spell each letter. Underline the word as you repeat the word)
*Once you "Say it, spell it, say it," then use it in a sentence!
Ways to practice writing a word
Make snap words...
with flash cards. "Look, say, cover, write, check" then use the word in a sentence
on paper, with pencil, paint, crayons, or markers. You can rainbow write your letters by tracing a word in one color then going over it in another color etc.
with play-doh, with magnetic letters, or make letters out of paper and put them together
in shaving cream with your finger
with chalk on blacktop
using a magicdoodle or aquadoodle board
on a ziplock bag that is semi-filled with paint, using your finger
