Teaching Tips

Teaching Tip for June, July, August '06

My apologies for those of you looking for the April/May/June tip. I did one up but must not have saved it. So, here it is again! I recently created Blackline Master X, Accuracy and Automaticity Drills for basic sight words. In the package, I've included many tips for spelling basic sight words and thought I'd share some of these with you here. come - Teach the children to say "Come over to see me." The 'o' in 'over' reminds them to use an 'o' and the 'me' reminds them of the 'e' at the end. some - teach 'some' as a partner of 'come' and they can usually spell it easily from - most children know how to spell 'mom' - encourage them to say "from Mom" to get the 'om' ending
