The Chinese school year is winding down and the kids are getting ready to move up. I've been thinking of ways to get the kids excited about learning to read.
AGE 6: Literacy
My version of the learning rocket: using the lakeshore alphabet reader series, the kids move their clothes pins down the rocket as they read through the set. X,Y,Z Blast off!
AGE 5: Introduction to the Alphabet
Using buttons, pipe cleaners, mimi pom-poms and macaroni, the kids worked through the letters of the alphabet. I took pictures and made a large A3 Ipad for the kids to play with. They are so cute pressing the ABC "icons".
