Hannah - June 18, 2008

Today Hannah read "Cat" from Hooked on Phonics and was so happy to put a star on her reading chart.

I've decided to give myself a "Plan of Attack" for teaching Hannah to read. I've just been doing odds and ends with her and working a lot on the blog, so I need to write down what we will be working on each day to make it the most effective. Here is my plan:

Work on one set of phonics words (from Hooked on Phonics) for 2-3 days, 1-2 days when she can read them faster.

Add one new word to our "Sight Words" each day

Make sure to start making short sentences with her sight words so that she can start reading "real" books. This will help reinforce the words she already knows.
