Sight Words and Number Charts

(And because I haven't posted in weeks, I could be here all night - catching up on posts that have been stored in my brain.)

Anyway, back to our regular programming!

Am blessed to be married to a husband who works in (and is passionate about) the education industry. He's implemented a number of ideas at home on how to get Nico started on reading and counting, particularly putting up posters of Sight Words and numbers to read daily. It's actually amazing how quickly Nico learned to count and recognize numbers up to 60, and "read" so many words. (Actually, we also used a number of other tools to get Nico familiar with words, but will save that for another post.)

One of the ways we get Nico familiar with the numbers or words on his charts is to delay gratification on his requests (in most cases, his turn at using the iPad) by telling him to go to his chart and count to 60 or read the words. It works wonders for us! I've also shared this to a friend with a toddler almost exactly the same age as Nico, and it's worked quickly for her as well :) It's time to change our charts to include numbers 61 to 70, and add to the list of words!
