Doing anything homeschool related that had to do with reading was a nightmare. I decided I need to come up with a fun way to learn the basic sight words.
I picked up a cheap box of "tumbling tower" from dollaramma. Each block I wrote a sight word on the block from the master list of sight words.
Blaine also loves this game, he does better with seeing and memorizing the words so this works for him too and it is so much fun!
How the game works:
You take a block out like you normally would. You have to read the word on your block. Playing this game has made it so much fun for her and now she has almost all the basic sight words down pat.
About another week of playing this game after each homeschool session and I will get a new set of blocks and add the second list of sight words on those blocks.
This is an earned game she must complete all of her homeschool activities in order to be able to play this with me.
Using it as a "reward" has made learning less of a fight and more of a fun experience for both of us.
Every child learns different and it is just about finding what works with each child!
Do you have homeschool games that work?
