Pool Noodle Sight Words

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Parents or teachers this activity was affordable and easy to create!  I took a normal pool noodle and cut it 1-2 inches apart until I had enough for 26 letters.  

 After they were all cut I put 3 letters around them.  (I did this with some thinking as to sight words I could make)  For instance I wanted to work on 2 letter words so on one noodle I put I, A, U on the other I put T, S N.  When you move the letters around you can make the sight words: IT, IS, IN, AT, AS, AN, US, UN.  I have flash cards that my daughter would use to help her make the words.  

 Each letter she would give me the name and sound and then she started to learn the words.  We did 2 letters, 3 letters, and 4 letters.  :) 

 I also used some yarn to keep them connected.

We have lots of extra $ Store noodles to cut up. This is perfect for playing in the tub--even without water! Thanks for the great idea!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
