The World According to Me

• Apr. 10, 2008 - Words! Lapbook

Posted in Lapbooking

We finally finished this one!! It took a lot more work than I expected, and I am glad I went into the whole thing with a rough sketch of what I wanted to accomplish and where it would all go. I am also very glad I have kids who love to cut and glue! My goal was to have a sort of word book for the kids to use with their reading. As we were putting it together, my oldest was reading words to his 4 yr old brother while the 4 yr old read the words he could back, so I think it will accomplish my goal. I also plan to use it later if any particular group of words is causing trouble. Anyway, so here it is....

Here is what is inside (using 3 file folders) 

  • The first small flap contains 5 pockets. 1 for each vowel. Each pocket has word cards for short CVC words.
  • the 2nd small flap has 6 minibooks made from word cards for the -ng and -nk words
  • The first large section is for the long A sounds: ea, ay, ei, ey, eigh, a_e and ai
  • The 3rd small flap has flaps for ar and or, along with a mini-poster for oy and oi
  • The 4th small flap has 3 pockets for the 3 pronunciations for -ed and words for "ea" with the short e sound
  • The 2nd large section has the long e sounds: e_e, e, ee, ei, ea, ie and ey/y. It also has the 3 "ch" sound and all of the "er" sounds
  • The 5th small flap has some of the silents: ph, wr, b, kn,gn and t
  • The 6th small flap has -ck and the voiced and unvoiced "th"
  • The 3rd large section has Long o sounds: oa, o, ow,oe, and o_e. And the "sh" sounds of sh, ti, si, ci
  • The 7th small flap has word card books fro au/aw and ow/ou
  • The 8th small flap has the 6 different pronunciations of -ough
  • The 4th large section has the long u sounds (and variations of it): u, ue, u_e, ui, ew, oo (and it's second pronunciation) aswell as contractions.
  • And the 5th large section, on the back, has the long I sounds: i, i_e, ie, y and igh. And -tch, -dge, wh and qu

Here are a few links to the online resources....the rest was all just me and Word.

oi/oy, au/aw ou/ow, long I, r-controlled and other vowel combinations were found here, and I used this site to print some of the word cards. The blank templates were from Homeschool Helper then cut and pasted into Word so I could edit them.

And here are some of the views of inside:

I have been thinking about doing something like this with Noah. We have hit a stand still with his reading. I don't know if I should take a break.....

Right now we are reading Frog and Toad stories and I am just reviewing as we read but there are some sounds he didn't learn yet so I don't know if I am just frustrating him. He is my perfectionist and VERY hard on himself. Right now because of allergies (I think/hope) his frustration level is unreal.

Wonderful! I have been pondering making something similar for my pre-reading son. You did a super job.

Wow Sadie! That is wonderful! I think your brilliant. :) And thank you so much for posting all your resources. It has been really helpful in giving Cyan a few more fun things to do (the ice cream cones were particularly helpful last week). It is so nice to 'know' people whos kid is at the same level as mine. :)

As for the Apple trees you have growing... what are you planning on doing with them? Cyan thinks that is just about the coolest thing ever that they are growing. We are planning on trying a 'Pondarosa Lemon' that someone gave us from the green house field trip. Netcarines in the compost... are you going to dig them up and put them in pots or what? Can you tell I am obsessed with having my own fruit trees... being able to say that I grew some from seeds... well that would just be... amazing. Not that nectarines or lemons will grow here in my Pacific NW yard... but you know. lol...

I have a question for you. (You know, on top of the three I have up there... sorry. Too much coffee.) How do you 'reply' to comments? I am not a fan of the feature on this or on Blogger that my replies to comments just get lot unless the person comes back to my blog. I don't mind commenting back and forth on each others blogs like you and I have been... but that is sort of a pain. Is there a better way to do that?

Blessings and have a great weekend!

Val

Edited to fix spelling errors. Like I said... too much coffee. ;)
