This week, our focus has been on the Word Family for -AN, since he already knows CAN. I was worried at first that he wouldn't be able to catch onto the technique for word families but after demonstrating a couple of times by sounding out the first letter, he got it. I have often heard him sounding out the first consonant on his own.
We are using the free printables for -AN family from 1+1+1=1. Here is our updated Word Wall with word cards from the -AN unit added.
As expected, Mouse's older siblings have started playing around with the words on the word wall and come up with hilarious sentences for him to read, or for them to read themselves *roll eyes*
We started working on Ordinal Numbers. I found a lot of worksheets on Pinterest, and a colourful printable that lists the numerical form and word form on a pocket chart. Unfortunately, as our hanging pocket chart is the standard type, I have had to split the numbers into two columns.
It took him a little time to understand the meaning of the ordinal numbers, and I had to prompt him quite a lot to work out the answers in the worksheets. We will be doing more to reinforce the concept next week.
