A Print Rich Enviornment

I’m working on a new project, I’m writing in large print on some cards I have and taping them around the house, to get Aiden interested in words and keep Michael reading. I think I’ll change them up to keep their brains noticing.

So far I have “Baby,” “Joseph,” “Door,” “Food,” “Chair,” “TV,” “Aiden,” “Michael,” “Potty,” “Sink,” “Food,” “Water,” “Cups,” “Plates,” “Phone,” “Shoes,” “Snack,” “Trash,” “Wash,” “Bath,” “Bed,” “Toys,” “Mom,” and “Dad.”

What else?  I need more 3 and 4 letter household items.

I walked around with the boys this morning having Michael try to read stuff then letting them take turns taping them up.  I was amazed how many Michael had already forgotten…

When Michael asked me why I was doing this, I said “So your brain doesn’t melt while you’re out of school.”  He laughed and said, “My brain isn’t going to melt, it’s not made of…” then he paused to think, “…stuff that melts easy!”  🙂  I explained that it woudln’t melt, just that brains that aren’t thinking about stuff they need to know forget, so I want to help him remember.  Hahaha!
