Summer Reading Bootcamp!

Hello! In this blog post, I will be telling you all about the summer reading bootcamp that I am doing for my little one.

When we moved to Virginia, the little one told my husband and I that her goal for the summer was to learn how to read, but she was going to need a little help. SO I decided that we were going to do a reading lesson, math lesson and a research lesson everyday. This all only takes about an hour a day, we start with "circle time" it is a Lakeshore Learning Store activity that I have.

After this, we move into name tracing. I use Amazing Handwriting Worksheets to make all of her worksheets. After her name, we move into number ordering and recognition. We do this normally with the monster number cards that I found on pinterest. Here is what I do,

I spread all the cards on the floor, right now we are only completing 1-20. Then she finds all the  monsters by herself in order. She enjoys this a lot. After this we move to reading. I use Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Lessons. After reading we do research, right now we are researching the ocean, we read Rainbow Fish, and made rainbow fish out of tinfoil. 

When we started the summer, she could recognize all of her letters, count to 20 and only missed 5 letter sounds when asked. 

That's all for now!
