Try Dot Art markers. They're super easy for toddlers to hold. Paint your child's foot or hand with fabric paint and imprint a T-shirt for her or to give as a gift.
To prevent color from bleeding to the other side of the shirt, place cardboard inside. Mix a box of cornstarch with water to a consistency your child likes, then add food coloring. Crown your prince or princess. Decorate a strip of construction paper or cardboard with markers, glitter, and stickers. Then staple or tape the two ends to size.
Knock it across the room with a kitchen utensil. Grab a spoon or a strainer with a handle. Facing your child with legs spread apart, roll a ball to each other, alternating between using your left hand and right hand. Bounce it into a hula hoop. Hold the hoop and have her try to toss the ball so it lands in the center.
Move back to make the game more challenging. Dip a small ball, such as a golf ball, into nontoxic washable paint, then put it in a salad spinner or a plastic container along with a few coffee filters. Put the cover on and spin! You can use your salad spinner again after you put it in the dishwasher.

Knock over some empty water bottles or soda cans. Give your child an assortment of balls -- tennis, golf, Ping-Pong -- and an empty muffin tin. She'll have fun putting a ball in each compartment, dumping them out, and starting all over again. Take turns hitting a beach ball up toward the ceiling, trying not to let it hit the ground.
Sing a silly ball song. Toss it up a slide. She'll love watching it roll down. Pass it through a "human" tunnel. Both parents and the child stand in a row, one behind the other, with legs spread wide. The first person bends over and tries to get the ball through the three sets of legs. Create a sunny scene. Splash in a couple of puddles. If the rain is light, you can look for worms along the way. Pop in a yoga tape. Have her follow your poses.
Bake cookies with care.
Part 2: How Successful People Think About Reaching Their Goals
Give her a lesson in altruism by baking cookies for an elderly neighbor or to send to the troops in Iraq. Let her sneak a couple. Try lima beans, marigolds, and zinnias in a variety of mini pots, clear plastic cups, or an egg carton. Each player wears a detachable animal tail, which you try to pull off. Create an obstacle course. Jump on pillows, crawl under chairs, and burrow through a blanket-covered tunnel. Hunt for under-the-sea treasure. Run a bubble bath, then have your child sit inside or outside the tub and feel around for objects you've "buried.
Keep changing the activity and the number of repetitions. Take along a cookie sheet and magnetic letters and numbers. Entertain her with a dancing bear. Pack a Travel Go 'N Doodle. No worries about ink stains on the seats with this version of the Aquadoodle mat.

Hi, I bought this for my daughter who is 6 about to turn 7. She is in the 1st grade and struggles reading fluently. She sounds out each individual letter in a word and in turn makes it hard at times for her to decode the full word. So I was just wondering your input should I go ahead and start the lessons or look for an alternative? In my opinion, I think you could definitely try this book. I would try it and just see how your daughter likes it. If she hates it, and it stresses her out, then stop. My son did the same thing your daughter is doing. He knew the alphabet and the sounds very early, but decoding words was a huge struggle.
Putting the sounds together was hard, and no matter how often I reminded him, he never remembered any rules, such as what the silent e does. We worked through half this book, stopped for a year and a half, and then went back to it. Finally, when he was about 8. I have no idea why he could suddenly read certain words that I felt would be too hard for him.
Small Things That Can Bring You Joy
I think for some kids, these connections happen early, and for others, it happens later. I hope this helps. I am a Reading Specialist by trade and I taught both of my daughters to read with this book. I am currently on lesson 48 with my 5. She hated it at first. Squirmed, cried, absolutely hated it. So I changed tactics. I started finding ways to encourage her to want to read. I then reinforced the words she was learning in the easy lessons books with games, abs a program called reading eggs online. We are still working through the book but two lessons per week.
We make a funny sentence with every individual word she reads the fast way. Sometimes her favorite paw patrol character joins us. Nome, Thank you for your comment. I have found that not worrying about sticking to the script and not working on it every day like the book recommends has gone a long way in making it more pleasant for my boys too.
There are plenty of good resources out there for teaching reading. My three year old is on lesson We do about 4 lessons a week. Now that they are transitioning out of the distal orthography, he is really struggling with the vowel sounds. Do you have any recommendations? He was doing so well, now it seems like he has taken many steps backwards.
A year later, I used the book with him again. I went back to Lesson 50 and then we finished the entire book without a problem. So you may want to just stop and revisit it again later. Read books to him, try Starfall. I read somewhere that once you finish Easy Lessons, a child would be at approximately 2nd grade reading level. Once we finally finished Easy Lessons, I found it still took awhile for my son to transition out of that book to actually being able to read other books. I used all the books Easy Lessons recommended, and we went through them very slowly, but he struggled.
It almost seemed like the change happened overnight. He was suddenly reading fluidly and he was reading complicated words, which would have confounded him a month earlier. I started to wonder if all my effort in teaching him to read really mattered that much — it was just going to happen when he was ready and those brain connections happened! I hope this has helped, and I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if you have any other questions. My daughter knows her letter sounds but not her letter names. She knows 19 sight words. Do you think that she can use this book without knowing her letter names and just the sounds?
They teach the sounds first and the letter names later in the book. So yes, I think it would work just fine! The writing portion of each lesson is a good break between reading and screen time so that the reading portion has time to set in. Reading is such a critical gateway to learning everything else in the world that I would HIGHLY recommend these lessons as soon as your child is interested in letters. Thank you for your comment, Samantha.
Reading that early is not possible for many children, but hooray for your son, if he can. Have fun with it. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Twitter account.

A couple of points about how this book teaches reading: The book teaches the child to sound out words by blending the sounds together instead of pausing between sounds. The book also uses an altered orthography or symbols to help the child read. My son would read the stories in the book, and I would keep the accompanying picture covered until he finished. He always looked forward to seeing the picture, so this gave him an incentive to finish the lesson. Yet I can see where the pictures and stories might not interest older children.

The book also requires the student to write two or three sounds at the end of each lesson. Not Prepared to Donate?
