Reading and Rhyme
This week’s theme is Reading and Rhyme
Have some fun writing letters and words in sensory materials like sand or flour.
Practice mark making/ writing letters/ writing CVC words/ writing sentences about things you see.
Use small objects and toys to create a scene to match the words and read the sentences e.g The cat is in the box. The man with a hat.
Match CVC words to toys and objects
Create a comfy corner or a den for looking at books.
Have a tray of household items, such as: car, jar, star, sock, rock, lock, cap, map, can, pan, fan, bell, shell, rice, dice, etc. Group the rhyming items/ objects.
App: ‘Meet Millie’ (book 1 free) - You can purchase further adventure books with interaction on every page. Interesting story, good modern graphics and Millie springs to life with her photos.
If you are searching using the computer start a list of words that you like to look up.
