Homeschool fun while building English Language skills


Beginning Spelling: use your bananagrams or Scrabble tiles to let your kids practice building words 



Learning To Read: These highlight sticks helps your child stay on track with the words they are reading. These are also excellent tools for those who struggle with dyslexia. Very easy to assemble using only a popsicle stick and a file folder tab. 





Story Blocks with Legos: Creating stories out of sight words and spelling words that your kids can already read or sound out is a great foundational writing skill. Using legos and some simple white stickers is a very cheap and effective way to achieve this. Consider putting opposites on the same blocks (i.e. like love and hate or big and small) and for others put complimentary words (i.e. his and her) so that sentences can be made easily by switching around a block. use longer blocks for introducing new and more challenging words.




Spelling with Legos: A great to practice spelling and a great help for those who are visual learners





Letter recognition: this can also be a great on going art project idea. Draw a letter on a piece of paper or cardboard and place a stack of old magazines , sale papers or newspapers and have your child look for that particular letter . cut it out and glue it on the letter until it is completely covered.




Still have those plastic eggs laying around your house from Easter? Use them to practice with word families.
