Words of the Day: Part 2

When my daughter was a baby I had my house labelled and I'd read to her everyday. By kindergarten, we had Words of the Day in a little file box. So your WOD cards do not have to be taped to the wall and destroy your paint job. Nor are WODs limited to a classroom.

By the middle of first grade she was illustrating the cards and we had expanded them to WOD sentence cards. Whenever her teacher sent home a new list of spelling words we'd have a sentence card for each new word. It was a fun project and not a chore. Any way, it worked because she was reading on a third grade level at the beginning of first grade.

Of course, my love of reading had to rub off. Each night as I read to her it was with expression which was how my dad used to read to us. The children in my daughter's third grade class liked for the teacher to call on her to read aloud because of her expressiveness.

With that said, here are two more WOD cards. These were from the beginning of the school year when the WOD came with the school's morning announcements.
