Jedi Reading - learning to read word families with the love of Star Wars. Kaleb loves Star Wars and I was trying to peak his interest in reading, so I came up with Jedi Reading. We are working on word families. I am using this as a bridge to learning how to read. He didn't seem ready to actually sound out the words but I wanted to continue some form of reading education. I though word families might be the way to go for him and I added a great bonus - Star Wars. Now, he is working on his second word family - AN. He is working towards his light saber.
For each word family, I scour the internet to find activities and printables. I try to include many different aspects - games, books, working with magnets, stamping, etc... to keep his interest.
Kaleb worked on this cute, free printable house book. He really loves to stamp the words, so when there is a part where he can write - I give him the option of stamping.
He worked on a mini AN booklet that I found from OCD in First (link below). It had a few pages - building words, finding the words, word search, and writing the words.
Kaleb is building his words using the letter blocks. I love that these blocks have the read vowels like All About Reading uses. When we pick up his reading lessons, he will be used to seeing the letters marked this way.
He is working on his Jedi test - he read the cards and built them with blocks. He is totally focused here - he wants his light saber:)
He earned his light saber for the AN family. He is adding it to his reading wall - way to go, Kaleb!
Here he is, cheesy smile and all, in front of his Jedi Reading wall. On the top are his light sabers for the two word families that he has completed and on the bottom are his word cards. We add them to his word wall after his Jedi test. This will help in his review and give him a visual of all of the words that he has learned so far. On to the AP family!
