Thanks for the tips & ideas. I like the idea of teaching the sets in clumps. I am thinking that perhaps I could fast flash the words, then show the pics & talk about the definition, then move onto the next set. Hopefully that will put enough seperation between them, yet still allow us to go through them quickly.
TeachingMyToddlers - thanks for the link. That list sounds kind of similar to Dolch words. I printed it off for fun, just to see how many my dd can read ( probably most of them). Being able to read all of the words is considered a 2.0 reading level it said. Does that mean grade 2?
I never know where my daughter is as far as reading level goes. I'm guessing grade one, but because she doesn't use phonics as well as I think a later grade one student should, so I am uncertain. Phonics is coming though, although it would be good if she listened to her mom once in a while!
. Tonight she read me the book Duck in the Truck. When she saw the words TWANG by one of the pictures, she insisted that it said wiggle. I tried to get her to go back & read it again, she refused to even look at it & insisted on wiggle. She will probably read it properly next time, but was not willing to let mom be right!
Thanks again for the help!
