Learning Station - Clothes Pin Words

Our kiddos who are heading to Kindergarten next year are budding readers.  I thought putting together some words would be great practice for them and it was wonderful exposure to such a thing for our younger kiddos.

I worked with each kiddo in turn.  First they picked a word card.  Then older kiddos told me the letter sounds and sounded out the letters together to read the word.  The younger kiddos worked on naming the letters and reviewing the sounds, then we read the word together.  I'm always amazed when their brains make the connections and they begin reading.

I just wrote letters (upper case on one side and lower on the other) on clothes pins, then drew a quick picture on a 3X5 card.
