Ella came back from Christmas break with a strong desire to "really read". She has been sounding out what she wants to write on all of her drawings but we've been practicing some sight words as well. I wrote some of her sight words on a sheet of paper and placed a sheet of vellum over it for her to trace them on. She also wrote the words 'I SEE THE' on a sentence strip and then attached drawing of animals that she had drawn and labeled. The drawings are stapled at the top so she can flip them. (Note: She is still most comfortable writing in all capitals most of the time so I go with that.)
