It’s review time with You Can Read since we completed unit one, unit two, unit 3, and unit 4! Because I never want to move her too quickly, we do tons of review along the way and also take a week out {at least} every 4 lessons to do a full review week. I also slow units down as needed, as this is a mastery program {meaning I don’t want to add new words until she has mostly mastered the previous words}.
Here’s a post sharing You Can Read Review with Krash when he did it! See all of Krash’s Kindergarten posts here.
Assessment
At the beginning of our review week I did a word reading assessment. She missed 2 on the first try, you can see those below in the purple pen. At the end of the review week I repeated the assessment {in pink} and she could quickly read all of the words!
Bitsboard Review
I created review units for the Bitsboard app and they include more words which makes the games more fun. We played games on Bitsboard to review words from units 1-4 all week!
Here’s the very basic instructions for finding and using the You Can Read units on the Bitsboard app {which I am fairly certain is only Apple}
- Open Bitsboard
- Select “Catalog” over on the right, it’s blue at the top
- Select “Shared” it’s in the middle at the top
- Type “You Can Read” in the search area on the top right
- Boards should show up, bad news they don’t sort them in order so it takes a bit to find the unit or review unit you are looking for.
Shoot the Sight Words
This was the first time Ladybug had the fun experience of shooting sight words! She loved it!
Review BINGO
We used the Review BINGO board, this is a simple and easy review!

Sight Word Caterpillar Play
we used all of our sight word caterpillar circles to play smack the word.
See a video of us in action with me calling the words and Ladybug doing the smacking…
Here’s another video showing Ladybug calling the words for me to smack. It’s a good review to do it both ways!
We also used them to find words in our easy readers.
We had lots of fun with our review. I especially like that I decided to keep the caterpillar circles in the pocket chart this time {I stuck them to a wall with Krash} so we could use them a lot. She loves getting them down to play with!
