Jedi Reading is something I worked up for my son who was past the alphabet sounds but not quite to the sounding out words of learning to read. I decided to focus on word family, just simple CVC word families. I have not included blends - that will be another lesson, to make it as simple as possible. I combined word families learning with the love of Star Wars and Kaleb was hooked.
We just finished most (not all, for several reasons) short A word families. I thought it was time to review and, in our review, I made several more new games. We took this time to review all emergent readers that we have been reading each week as well.
One game that I made was a word sort. Each Death Star has a word family on it and Kaleb would pick a card, read it, and then place it on the correct Death Star.
I made a path game using the word families. Kaleb would spin the spinner and move the game piece to the next word from that selected word family. He had to read it to stay on the spot. Also, for more review, you could have your child read every word to the selected word family.
I gave Kaleb some letter tiles and for each character I had him create a word from different word families. HE did these without the help of the printable word cards.
Next review game, he rolled a die and, based not he number, he wrote a word for that family in the column.
I also created a lightsaber game - Kaleb would choose a lightsaber and create a few words from each family with his letter blocks. This can also be done with letter magnets or letter tiles. I made the lightsabers small enough to fit in a cup and they could choose from there.
I made several other games - a Roll, Say, Keep game mat, word target game, and Death Star word sort (a different version). All of the review games are in my review pack. Download link below. Enjoy.
