Making sounding out fun! I love the idea of this activity. Building words and slowly sounding them out with chips and a magnet. Kindergarteners can combine first, middle, and last sound to complete the word. This is interactive and engaging. @PJLanguageArts

During my JK/SK placement, I had a student that had an interest in cars. When practicing printing and tracing we would pretend their finger or the pencil was a car to encourage participation. This activity takes that a step further using small cars to trace. @PJLanguageArts

This fun literacy centre uses nets and ping pong balls to create words from the same word families. Students can scoop up a letter and read out the letter combined with its ending. This enhances students memory of different word families. @PJLanguageArts
