Reading Game



You know when you get carried away blog hopping and then don't remember where you found something?  That's what happened with this one.  So . . . it's not my idea, but I loved it . . .





This is a reading activity made out of paint chips.  Genius!  Put the ending sound on the card with the cut-out and then the different starting sounds down the strip.  Move the card down the strip and sound out the different words.
We've had a lot of fun with this one in our house.

    ok so glad you found this- I think I saw this on Chasing Cheerios months ago but I could not remember how to make it and have a pile of paint chip samples sitting here - that need to be used.
    I have done lots of stuff w/ paint chips in the past- but i love this idea ;) thanks

    Excellent idea! I've commented somewhere that I understand 'paint chip'. We call them colour charts!
