Zooming Over Sight Words

When Stephanie from Shining Our Lights linked up with the Show & Tell, I KNEW my boys would LOVE her idea! Check out how she created a sight word path for her son to drive his car along! Roll the cube and find the corresponding word on the sight word path. Drive the car over the words until you reach the word rolled on the cube! Read EACH word as you drive over it! LOVE IT!  So simple, yet so much fun! (FYI: Stephanie used the You Can Read! insert cards.)  Click on the photo below to see this super fun idea in action!

You Can Read! from 1+1+1=1

The most recent additions to the Education Cubes Members Only site are the You Can Read! insert cards. I collaborated with Carisa from 1+1+1=1 to create these insert cards as a supplement to her new You Can Read! Sight Word Program!

Included on the Members Only site are three sets of insert cards to go along with the program:

1. Alphabetical word list
2. Word list by unit
3. Colors & Numbers

Use these insert cards with your cubes for some fun review activities! For example, roll and read the word. Roll multiple cubes and use the words in a sentence. Designed to supplement the You Can Read! program, there are tons of possibilities!

Do you have ideas on how to use the You Can Read! insert cards? Please share them in a comment!

You can access these insert cards and many, many more by joining the Education Cubes Members Only Site.

Attn Members: You can find these insert cards on the “Curriculum-Based” page found under “Early Concepts.”

Word Matching

E from Adventures with a Chinese Noodle used the Blank insert cards to create her own list of words for her daughter to do a bit of word matching! Click on the pictures below for more information on how E used her Education Cubes to help her daughter practice her word list.!

Spell to Write & Read {Lists A through I-4}

The most recent addition to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are the SWR Spelling Lists A-I4. The insert cards are based on the spelling lists found in Wanda Sanseri’s Spell to Write and Read program. The spelling lists {aka The Wise List} in SWR expand the words from the original Ayres List and include words from the Ekwall Basic Sight Word List, the Dolch List, the N-Ables List, and the American Heritage Word Frequency List.

 

While these cards were created with SWR users in mind, they could VERY easily be used by anyone wanting to practice reading core words used in the English language! From what I understand, many of the words found in the SWR program are also part of the All About Spelling program.
