Our exclusive, optional add-on Practice Pack with handwriting, reading, and spelling practice built into it goes along with the word family words that are introduced in the first book of our Ready to Read series, Burrows and Holes.
Over 72 flashcards double sided with handy little word family review cards as well, these adorable add-ons are multi-purpose and Charlotte Mason in their approach. Keeping in line with less is more, instead of line after line of handwriting practice, these flashcards are simple trace it, write it, and read it. The trace it section helps build form and ensure students are starting where they should. The write it gives just one place for them to do their very best. Finally, the read it has a simple sentence they can read and fill in the blank for their missing word. Each page has coloring, helps to reinforce spelling and phonics, and is a great size for little hands! I highly recommend purchasing a simple metal ring, hole punching the upper left corner, and flipping through for review and reading material. Each week has about 8 cards to go with it (2 per day if you want to go along with the book) and correlates with what they are doing in their student book.
Available as a print add-on only, these 8.5 x 5.5 inch cards have one word per side and can be worked on independently alongside their lessons for additional practice. These cards are printed on heavy-duty matte cardstock (so kids can color without smearing). I recommend putting them on a metal ring to flip through and review or create your own practice book!
