Feeling Words

Contributed by:

Age Range: 5 to 7

This idea can be used to help individual children learn sight word vocabulary.

Instructions:

  • Make large flash cards, using words of your choice (suited to the child's level of ability).
  • Laminate these flash cards, or cover them in plastic. When this is done, the cards are ready to use with the children.
  • First, you should say the word on card. Now, let the child make and small "ropes" out of clay.
  • They can then use the "ropes" to trace over the laminated sight word card. This will give a tactile stimulus to the child and enhance the learning.
