Fishing for Words

We couldn't have some fishing rods and fish prepared without using them for school work as well.

Today Mr Yr1 went sight word fishing according to him that was still fun.

 

I put sight words that we usually have on the window onto the back of the paper fish.

 

The fish were then put into the 'water hole'.

 

Mr Yr1 fishing off the veranda ... I mean banks of the water hole.

 

"It's but." Mr Yr1 got to keep the words he remembered but the one he didn't got thrown back.

Sight Word Idea

Sight words ... the bane of our lives and something that I am constantly looking for more ideas for because the kids get bored. However, despite that their favourite activity is still jumping on the words written on the cement but I do like a bit of variety.

I am not sure about in 'real' school but in distance ed preps are given a list of sight words to learn (those words that you just need to know for successful reading).

On air one day Mr Prep's teacher did an activity where they had to look at the sight word and then move the letters onto the pegs on a picture of a clothes line ... so I decided to make the same thing.

 So now we have a pile of laminated letters and some cool pegs on string from Crazy Clarks. Mr Prep can then sit down on the floor and copy words from his sight word book. Sometime I choose the word for him to find and make and sometimes he chooses the word and tells me what it is.
