100 Followers Means a Gift for You!

Wow, 104 followers!!!!  I'm just loving all my amazing followers!  Thank you for all your kind comments. In honor of you guys, I'm posting some activities and games to help students learn to read all those pesky number words.  This is another area that my students need a lot of practice.  The more I teach the more I realize that there are so many words that hard to read for my students with learning disabilities.

Number Word Memory (number words from 0 to 20) - Freebie!

You might also like some of my other games to help reinforce reading number words.

Go Fish Game with Number Words (numbers 0 to 20, tens place numbers, and the words hundred and thousand included)

Number Word Match (match the number words from 0 to 20 to the correct fish tank - cards with just the numbers are included also)

Thanks for following everyone!!!

Sight Word Linky Party

Thanks to one of my followers, I found out about Ana's Sight Word Linky Party.  Check out her site (click her button below) to see how other bloggers teach sight words.

My students need  A LOT of reinforcement with their sight words.  Repetition (and lots of it) seems to be the key.  My kiddos really respond to playing games, and they stay engaged (plus for me).  I try to play some kind of phonics or sight word game daily with them just to reinforce the skills.  Here are some of the games that we play (click on the picture to take you to the blog post where you can download your own copy).  I'm also working on some number word games that I'm almost finished with and some more phonics games.  Keep checking back for them!

Butterfly Sight Word Memory Game

It's been soooooo crazy at my house lately.....sigh.  I've wrapped up my school year, but I have a week long Applied Linguistics course that I'm taking now.  My district requires new teachers to get ESOL endorsed and this is my FINAL class!  YEAH!!!  I will be officially done on Friday.  Until Friday, it's a long week of classes ALL day long.

My youngest daughter knows that I make games for my students.  She likes to see what I make and look at the cute pictures on them.  She spends a lot of time cutting out random pieces of paper and making "games" that I can take to school to use with my class.  What in the world am I going to tell her next year  when she comes to school with me and realizes I'm not using all of her games???

Lately, she's been begging me to make a game for her to play that has butterflies.  So I whipped up this quick Sight Word Memory Game for her last night.  These are the first nine weeks sight words that Kindergarten teaches in my district.  I figure that since the triplets will be starting Kindergarten in the fall I might as well start working with them this summer.

I will probably add more words to this game later and repost, but this will keep my little princess happy for a day......maybe.
