Goal
Learn common tricky words (like the, said, was) by sight.
You'll need
Flashcards or handwritten words on paper.
How to do it
Deal the cards and play snap. When a match appears, shout the word aloud instead of “snap!” If that’s too chaotic, simply spread the cards out and take turns picking and reading them.
Ask your child to use each word in a silly sentence (“They ate one sock”). The funnier the better—it sticks in their memory.
