Where does the time go? I shot this video more than a year ago and now it’s time to play these games with my next youngest child.
I love the Spell to Write and Read program for teaching phonics and spelling. It’s very teacher intensive, but I haven’t found another program that captures the English language and spelling rules as well as this program has. If you are using SWR or Writing Road to Reading, you will enjoy using this game to help reinforce the basic phonogram sounds. Watch the video to see how it’s played and download the printable templates to make your own game here: Fishing for Phonograms
Great game, I’m going to send it to my children for the grandchildren! I would suggest getting the kids a “fishing pole” so they could reach the middle of the pond. I imagine a simple stick, or dollar plastic fishing pole would make it fun!
I really like the concept of this game. I adapted it for my daughter who is learning sight words. I printed the fish and covered them with clear laminate so we could write the words and erase them when we were finished. She has really enjoyed fishing. Also, I have seen fishing poles with magnets on the end of the string at Dollar General and Freds. I may try to get one of those soon to make the game more realistic. Thanks for the inspiration to stretch our hard earned dollars.
