I adapted this idea from Carissa's Bottle Top Names from 1+1+1=1 blog. She used bottle caps...I knew it would take too long to collect that many...we just don't go through bottles at our house. But I did have a big bag of clear glass pebbles. I thought that those could work!
I got name cards on the $1 aisle at Target. I made a card for each of the different sight word groups and then made a set of alphabet letters using the clear pebbles and a sharpie (you have to be careful and write the letter backwards on the bottom so that when it is viewed through the pebble it is correct...that was a bit tricky).
I laminated the cards to help them last longer.
I think these will work great in practice sessions for our sight word groups.
Seth has already worked with his_at card and had a good time with it!
Cool! I did this (also using glass pebbles; gotta love dollar stores!) using family member names. I think Maddie is still a little young (or just disinterested) right now, so they've been shelved. I can't wait to try them again in the future though. Love the word family idea!

Love this idea! I am on the hunt for pre reading and pre writing activities right now.
