Another mom from the Homeschool Open House (I wish I could remember who she was to give her credit!!) suggested a bookworm.  You put a caterpillar head on the wall and add circles to the body for each book.  You could do almost anything.  A racetrack with car cutouts, a tree with apples, the moon with stars, a birdhouse with birds, a barn with animals or hay bales……..

The hands-on, active reading/spelling lessons are working wonders.  I’ll be sure to write a post sharing the specific activities we’re using after I get some multi-sensory teaching “miles” on me!
