In response to your question about 'Spy For The Night Riders', I would say that it's late elementary/middle school reading level. They do talk about people being burned at the stake as punishment in the 1500's, but it's something that could be skipped over if you're reading it aloud to little ones.<br />Janet Wwdworkmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342739115475737631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999132126550088443.post-90376552956439036672010-12-04T18:47:09.252-06:002010-12-04T18:47:09.252-06:00My son has the same resistance to sounding out wor...My son has the same resistance to sounding out words verbally, even though he has been reading independently since summer. In his case it's the stress that he gives himself because he doesn't want to 'look bad' in case he gets it wrong.... Still, we persisted and he's getting better at not being overly self-conscious now. Good luck with your daughter!Hweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895959128588945675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999132126550088443.post-42933687426814307172010-12-04T15:45:31.010-06:002010-12-04T15:45:31.010-06:00I love the hair!I love the hair!Sarah Haney, M.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216162560327605679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999132126550088443.post-31183818438383102402010-12-04T15:44:35.704-06:002010-12-04T15:44:35.704-06:00Your hair looks great!!

Take away the worksheet. Have her break the word up TR AI N. You haven't done AI in level 1 yet, but if she knows it from another word, fine. If not, make another word above hers like PAIN. Tell her, "this says pain b/c the AI says long a". Is there an AI in your word? Yes? Then that says the long a sound. Let's read the word now TR AI N. Give her the worksheet back and have her find that word. Do they match? (Just like ETC). Yes? Great. Read on. Does train make sense in the sentence? Great.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999132126550088443.post-58939847022086385262010-12-03T17:52:48.858-06:002010-12-03T17:52:48.858-06:00Your hair does look good. lol It looks like you h...Your hair does look good. lol It looks like you had a wonderful week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972430229339449257noreply@blogger.com
