We are a big fan of
All About Reading around here. We are on level 33 of Level 1. My favorite part is that you can make each days lesson quick, easy and productive. I have a kindergartner and a 2nd grader and we just can't sit still for an hour to work on reading. While we are at the table we do some of the word cards, fluency practice sheets or reading games and then later we sit down on the couch for some reading, either me reading to them or them reading to me.
Here was our time at the table with
All About Reading mixed with some handwriting practice and zoology 2 by Apologia.
The first thing I had Peter do was the duck game. We are currently working on words with the ending of ck. So a duck game goes along perfectly. There were big ducks and baby ducks and the goal was to match the big and the little duck based on the words on the back. When you found a matching pair you would put the pair in the pond.
My boys have always been better at finding matching beginning sounds but rhymes have matching end sounds. With a little bit of help he was able to figure it out.
