Today we used E's new markers to write color words.
Me: Can you find a purple marker so that I can write purple? What letter do you hear at the beginning of purple?
E: P!
Me: Yes, watch me write a P. Big line down, little curve.

After we wrote all the words, I remembered a new color toy that D had recently received. He was sitting by quietly observing, so we drew him into the fun!
When I press the button on the Fisher Price Laugh & Learn Magic Paintbrush it lights up and stops by naming a random color. I would show the paintbrush to D while it was playing music and flashing.
E would find that color word it stopped on. Sometimes she would want to trace it.
It was an impromptu lesson that kept both the kids entertained!
E's age: 3 years, 3 months
D's age: 15 weeks
Interactive writing!! One of my favorite tools to teach reading/writing!!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Did you see the post I did last fall on modeled journal writing? We need to do more of that, too!
