We have started working on syllables. I thought this was going to be an easy next step. Part of me thinks I am wrong. The other part of me thinks we are fine and just keep swimming. We started with this simple sort. I found it here, where there are quite a few free sorts.
The next step was practicing what syllables sound like if they are OPEN. We worked with real and pretend words that were two syllables with an open first syllable. I found this sort here. I cut apart the words and he would read them based on the open first syllable. He would them glue them down one syllable per column and write the word altogether.
For this one we had Open A, Open E, Open I, Open O. We had words and syllables that ended in open syllables and I had him say the word/syllable out loud. He would sort it to where it best fit and then wrote it on his answer sheet. I also had him read some out loud to a kindergartener. She would say which sound it fit with and he would tell her if she was right or wrong. He wrote those on his answer sheet too. I found this sort here.
We have way more syllable work to do so those will be other posts. This weekend I will be using some of the games found here. The weather is supposed to be nice so I think I will make a twister board outside on my driveway like I found on that website.
