Word Stretching

  We have recently been working on phonemic awareness (becoming aware of each sound in words) in our home.  This is a prerequisite to successful reading.  My four year old is very hands-on so to solidify this concept we have been working with rubber worms to "stretch out" the sounds in words.  He had so much fun while he learned.  Watch as we stretch out single vowel words such as DOG, ROCK, and FISH.
