bethben Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'm trying to teach my daughter to read this summer. Mostly because it's summer and I'm not teaching anyone else. She's getting it thankfully, but was having a bit of trouble with the first sound (we're using 100 easy lessons). So, I color coated the letter she was forgetting to sound out and whammo - she could read it no problem. According to Diane Craft, I may have a right brain learner. I am so excited to have seen this!

MouseBandit Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 What do you mean you color coated it? I would love to hear more about this! Tracey in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 For example, she was reading r-a-m. She'd sound it out and say "am". Or, she was reading s-i-t, sound out all the right sounds and say "it". Over and over again. So, I used a white board and made the "r" orange and the "am" green. Same with the "sit". It was like magic. With the colors, I got "ram" and "sit" right away.
