Reading the Alphabet Letter Q

Last week, NJoy and I reviewed the letter Q and did activities with the word am.

It was fun helping him learn some new vocabulary, as he initially called the quarter a penny and the quail a bird! By the end of the week, he had it. 😉 Here are just a few snapshots of his Q week.  He was back in full-swing, wanting to do everything I had planned, even asking for MORE work than I had!

Reading the Letter Qq Book and finding all the am‘s.

He likes to take turns. “Mommy, close your eyes and I’m going to start a pattern. When I say ‘Ready’, you have to figure it out and finish the pattern.” {My little teacher.}

I changed up his sight word search and sight word maze {to make them more challenging} this week and he LOVED it. He was literally jumping up and down, squealing like a little pig when I set the maze in front of him. I’m so glad that’s all it takes to please him. 🙂

He worked the maze and then wanted me to call out all the others words for him to find. He created his own paths to each word and circled them. His enthusiasm makes teaching so fun!

Another new thing I tried this week was a “Which One Doesn’t Belong?” activity, which replaced the initial sound sort {the original sound sort idea is still in the lesson outline}. I want to keep working with him on this because it was definitely on his instructional level, although he needed a little more assistance than I thought he would.

I placed four pictures {from the Q lesson and previous lessons} on a row. Three of the pictures started with the same letter sound and one was different. We said each picture name together, while I really emphasized the beginning sounds like this: /b/-/b/ banana, /b/-/b/ bed, /b/-/b/ ball, /kw/-/kw/ quilt. He used his finger pointer to point to the picture that didn’t have the same sound.
