Sorting Letters t, h, and th ⁣⁣Hey I’m Kaley or @leapingintolearning. I share easy reading strategies that work! ⁣⁣Today we learned the sounds “th”. My son cannot say those sounds yet (normal-he’s 4) and often says fffff. Honestly, I think it’s the cutest thing ever and I know it will end soon enough! ⁣⁣BUT it is making an impact when we are starting to read books. SO, I am starting to correct him. ⁣⁣Funny thing though, even though he had difficulty pronouncing the “th” he was able to sort all of the sounds perfectly! ⁣⁣Here’s how I did this activity: ⁣- Print pictures that start with the sounds you’re on. ⁣- Draw bubble letters (I was never good at this so don’t judge ;-) ⁣- As the child sorts the sounds, say the word out loud, highlighting the beginning sound and then they sort them into they proper sounds. ⁣⁣Let me know if you try this one! ⁣⁣⁣ ...

This week on my blog, I talked about Orthographic Mapping. ⁣⁣Hey I’m Kaley or @leapingintolearning. Make sure to save this 📷 to refer to later and follow me for more reading tips! ⁣⁣This is is an essential skill we need to teach our kids in order to build a strong reading foundation. It is especially helpful when kids are stuck on a word! ⁣⁣Here’s an example of what this would look like: ⁣-> truck - - - tr/u/ck = truck! ⁣⁣You would ask: ⁣⭐️ What sound does “tr” make? ⁣🌟 What sound does “u” make? ⁣💫 What sound does “ck” make? ⁣⁣Breaking up the sounds helps kids store these rules into their memory. Our brains need to make a map of which letters/sounds go together, then they will be able to apply their knowledge in countless contexts. ⁣⁣Any questions? Reply 👇🏼 ... See MoreSee Less

Any struggling readers out there? 👋🏼 ⁣⁣Hey, I’m Kaley or @leapingintolearning and I help kids read in fun and engaging ways. Make sure the save and share this 📷 ! ⁣⁣I know so many of us want kids activities to look pretty and colourful. I’m definitely a sucker to everything 🌈, HOWEVER- for many kids it can be overwhelming and distracting! ⁣⁣Most of the time, all you need is a pencil, paper and some markers (scissors are nice too 😉). This activity was done with my child and took zero prep time AND is super effective. ⁣⁣Say- What happens when the letter e is at the end of the word (or there’s a vowel, consonant, letter e)? ⁣⁣-> The e makes the vowel say it’s name! ⁣⁣Kids LOVE this activity and it’s definitely one you don’t want to miss! ⁣⁣What do you find your kids struggle with the most? Or what’s the hardest thing to help them with? ... See MoreSee Less
