Sight Word File Folder Game

February 17, 2015 By Valerie Mcclintick 3 Comments

Sight Word Game

My kindergartner has been making so much progress with his reading!  We’ve worked our way through many word families and it’s time to start getting serious about sight words.  I decided to make him a simple game he can play to slowly build up his sight word reading skills in a fun way.  This game features 54 different sight words from the Dolch 220 PrePrimer list and is a fantastic starting point for young children learning to read.

To play,  children roll a die and move their guy, reading the word they land on as they go.  There are detours, crosswalks, and other traffic related hazards along the way to the Candy Shop, making this a fun game that builds a bit on sportsmanship as well.

FirstLittleReadersScholastic First Little Readers

25 book set

We personally own and cherish these little books.  I must have spent an hour in the bookstore examining all the different early reader book sets they had to offer and this series was the one that stuck out the most.  Both my preschool and kindergarten aged boys love this set, we own set A, B, and C and they offer my kiddos a chance to experience success at reading which is worth it’s weight in gold. Most pages of these full-color storybooks feature just one line of simple, repetitive text to help children learn to read with ease and confidence. Click Here for Sample Pages

Multiplication Pocket Folder

May 15, 2011 By Valerie Mcclintick 8 Comments

We are all about Multiplication Facts around here lately
(Did you see our Math Keys)
(And our File Folder Games)

Well, I’m pulling out all the stops trying to get these important facts into my children’s heads.
Sometimes adding a bit of color….and incentive….helps!
So today I made the children a Multiplication Pocket Folder:

It’s really just a fancy way to store our multiplication flash cards
(we’re upgrading from ziploc baggies)

But the important part is the Multiplication chart on the front:

Everytime Sissy can get through a set of math facts she’ll get a sticker.
Ten stickers equals a small treat.
Each day she can earn up to 12 stickers
One for each digit….and no more.
(Ahhh……now you see my genius)

And if you want to make your own,
I’ve uploaded instructions, templates and printables for you too!
