Here is how the lists for each sight word CD/DVD came to be: Maybe that’s why they seem to match up pretty well. But remember, I have five volumes of them, not just two! As my district changed their required sight word list, I increased my collection of spelling songs to match it.Īs far as your guess as to which reading program my CD’s and DVD’s are based on- well, if they match Open Court Imagine It, that is pure luck, LOL! I have never even seen that one! BUT… I did use a very old Open Court (California version) list for Sing and Spell Volume 2 when I was creating that CD. Any suggestions for how I should pace it? Your feedback is much appreciated!Īll of the words on my Kindergarten Pacing Guide are on at least one of my Sing and Spell CD/DVD’s. Is this correct? My district uses the Dolch Word list. After some research, it appears that your cd’s (dvd’s)are based on Open Court Imagine It Reading Program. (For example: first teach the words on #1 and then #2…etc.) However, I noticed that some of the words on our original list are not on these cd’s (dvd’s) and/or some of the words on your cd’s/dvd’s are not on your kindergarten Pacing Guide. Since we purchased your Sing and Spell Volume #1 and Sing and Spell Volume #2 CD’s and DVD’s last year, I was going to use them as a pacing guideline. I’m in the process of re-vamping our Kindergarten word list. I always think that if one person asks a question, there may be many more that have that same question! So here is the answer. My Journey Through HM Journeys for Kindergarten.Have you ever wondered how I came up with the sight word lists on my Sing and Spell the Sight Words CD’s and DVD’s? I recently received this question via a comment on my blog, and I thought that the answer might make an interesting blog post.Here's a sample of one of my January mixed-up sentence stations: I've since released a January/Winter pack and now have recently put my newest one for February, "Sweetheart Sentences", in my TPT store! It's been great to see my students using them and building their confidence with reading the sight words and putting mixed-up sentences together. Back in December, I started putting together monthly sight word sentence activity packs to help them practice reading the words, writing the words, and building sentences in a fun way. Some of them are tough for them to remember, too, like "who, what, with, how, where". SIX! It's hard to dive in and help the kids master them when we have a flurry of words all of a sudden, so I've had to come up with some new and creative ways for my kids to practice their new words. As of last week, my students are now expected to learn 6 different sight words a week. hoo boy, there are a lot of words for them to learn in this program. ![]() Her teacher writes back to her with answers and facts about whales.Īs for sight words. It's a story about a girl who imagines she has a whale in her pond and proceeds to write letters to her teacher asking questions about whales. This actually was one of my students' favorite books that we've read this year. I thought I'd share a few of those activities that we've come up with in case any of you were in the same boat with needing a few ideas and resources to make it a little more exciting!Ī few weeks ago, we read the story "Dear Mr. less than stellar "workbook" activities the curriculum comes with. Now, the good thing is, we have been making and creating our own resources for YEARS, so this is nothing new for us! My team has been collaborating all year as we all try to create things to kind of boost what are, um. By and large, we do really like the stories that came with this edition, but there really isn't anything that came with it to use as a reading comprehension piece. While we were thrilled to finally get a curriculum that fit with the Common Core Standards, no reading curriculum is ever really one-size fits all. So this is my first year with a new reading curriculum and my kinder team and I have been roughing our way through Houghton Mifflin Journeys as we figure out what works, what doesn't, and what we need to make to supplement our curriculum. ![]()
