A great activity to get ready for school. This activity is wonderful for helping your child learn to spell his or her first and last name or to learn sight words. For this activity you will need paint sticks (I got mine at Lowe's) and clothespins. Write your child's name or sight words (see sight words tab for list) on the paint sticks (front and back.) Write 1 letter of the word on clothespins until the word is spelled. Store the sticks with the matching clothespins on them. The kids choose a stick, remove the clothespins one at a time and them put them back. The child should then write the word on the recording sheet. The child should say the letters as they take the clothespins on and as they take them off.
