I am teaching young children again! Not my own children this time, but the children of a very good friend. See our original post about this adventure here. Each week I plan to share our plans, which I did for Letter V here, and I also plan to share after our week is done so you can see my students in action!

I am excited to share all about our twenty-second week together, with a focus on the LETTER V! In addition to a letter focus each week we do several other things, which I will also share with you. Since I only have my students two days a week {3 hours each day}, we cram a lot into a short time! I also provide their parents with activities to do at home.

All About Reading Level 1
My students used All About Reading Pre-reading during the first half of the year and after using the placement test from AAR in December, I could see that they were ready to begin Level 1! This week we worked on lesson 16 and 17, the kids are really mastering CVC words!
Letter V Fun
We enjoyed several different activities, most from my site! I will link everything we used below! These are the plans I share with their parents {and also use myself to keep on track}:
The Letter V activities shown below are included with our Ultimate PreK/Kindergarten @ Home Membership – which is the best way to get your hands on everything we offer, see the cost savings here!
Below you can see AK and Ki doing the following activities:
Raising Lil Rock Stars Letter V
While the kids color I tell them the story and we review the items on the display board {shapes, colors, numbers}. They also do tracing at home for homework!
Letter V Toys & Puzzles
I love setting up fun letter displays and playing with the items. See more ideas here!
Letter V Books
We read tons of books featuring the Letter V! See all of our Letter V book ideas here!
You Can Read Word Family ET
We are using You Can Read Word Families in addition to our reading lessons. Word families are a great way to build confidence in reading CVC words. It also helps us review rhyming, and focus on word patterns. We are taking 2 weeks for each word family, this week we finished the _et family. These are the plans I share with their parents {and also use myself to keep on track}:
Spring Theme
We enjoyed a really fun spring theme unit, find the free printables here! These are the plans I share with their parents {and also use myself to keep on track}:
