Stepping up to sight words


Eli has been working on his sight words. The teachers from his class have sent home a bunch of them (my, this, like, here, and, am - for those of you playing at home) for him to practice and we decided that it would be fun to place one on each of our steps and have Eli say them as he goes up and down each day - as demonstrated in the video below. The penalty for getting any wrong, that Eli came up with himself, is that he has to start again (from the beginning). Effectively this could mean that Eli could be marooned upstairs (or downstairs) for a long period of time, but thankfully that hasn't happened thus far. In fact he's now so accomplished with this lot that we're eagerly awaiting the next shipment of sight words from school.
