In my defense, I really love using the laminating machine. I think I might have still been on this alternate planet when I decided instead of going out and buying a deck of flash cards, I’d make my own. One appropriately titled “Kindergarten Sight Words” and one titled “Dolch Pre-Primer Sight Vocabulary.” Instead, she gave me two sheets of paper. Ha!Ĭlearly, I was imagining I was on another planet where teachers aren’t over-worked and under-paid.
He’s started reading the Bob Books, but I asked his Pre-K teacher about what sight words he would need to know or would learn next year in kindergarten.įor some reason, I imagined she would give me a handy deck of flash cards to use to facilitate the process of learning these sight words. So, we dipped our foot in that water and lo and behold, the little stinker knew more than he was letting on! My son just finished up Pre-K and earlier this year I noticed he was starting to put sounds together and showing interest in learning how to read. I make my kids do reading, writing and arithmetic during their summer break.
