So I made some more. this time I did a little bit of research and found the 100 most common sight words. Many of the words I had already chosen were on this list, so I have continued to follow it with adding 40 more words. I also have added 20 words that are part of Phoenix's common lexicon such as: cookie, home, milk, shirt, pants, clothes, coat, fish, turtle, cow, horse, sheep etc and words that I feel will benefit her transition to preschool in the fall such as: teacher and school.
I gave her the latter set of words last night and am so surprised at how quickly she learns them. There were at least 5 or 6 that she remembered after just one introduction of the word. And she is so open to many repetitions of words she didn't remember yet.
It gives me so much hope for the future that at 3 she already loves to learn! We are going to an open house next week for her preschool. I am so psyched to be able to meet her learning team and to see what types of things they are going to be teaching her.
Here she is practising her words:
And a cute photo.
She's so SMART!! I'm impressed!! I love how she knows them and will even say other words related to what she just read. Love that girl. And her rosy cheeks that match Kelly's. They'll be a good pair. Shall we start negotiating the bride price and dowery now? :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know it! We totally showed her off at our preschool open house this week. So much fun!
DeleteSmart girl! We have been working on sight words (she only has 15, but each week she picks up one more word!). . . I like the idea of writing on foam. I had been writing on colored post cards and then having to laminate them due to Ellie's propensity to tear and chew paper.
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, Phoenix likes to lick hers. Ewww. Sigh. What can you do?
