I know some of you were waiting for the second volume of the “Tisha readers” series…
sorry for the long delay… I took a long break from computers, blogging etc.… and did lots of fun things with kids while traveling.
For those who missed the first volume of “ learn to read with Tisha”, here is the presentation of these readers in a few words: They are the very favorite ones of my little girl. I made them using pretty pictures of her favorite cuddles and toys on which I drew . It’s the story of a of a sweet baby tiger named Tisha, who discovers the world and the words . it is aimed for kids 2 to 5 years old.
you can find “Tisha and the short a sound” here:
This book , focusing on the short E sound is the second reader of a series for learning the vowel sounds.
This series is perfect as an introduction and discovery of the vowels .
You can also use it along another reading curriculum to reinforce the practice of CVC words and review of a few simple sight words.
Kids will love to read this story of these cute toy animals over and over again .
To go along with each book you can find on my blog some free activity pages , ideas for moms ,sight words flash cards and a card game for building the CVC words of the book.
To make the reader, print it on cardstock, pages 1 to20, opting for the booklet option on your printer. Assemble and staple.
Before getting into reading you can do a few games around the E sound, to familiarize your child with the new vowel sound.
Here are some of the activities we did and games we played:
- Sensory letters
- Paint a huge letter E
- Sorting sort a and short e words and feeding Mr. elephant our short E letters
- Feeding Mr. elephant short E words .
- Reviewing some sight words:
( a, I am, Hello…)
