Rep Spell

 Hi!
The bees around the world are now back to their homes. From the New Year vacation last week. Like the New Year week, I too had a theme for last week - Rep Spell. Learn and practice English spellings throughout the week. The idea sprang up as I was browsing through websites for spelling related activities. One work caught my attention. And, Rep Spell was born. Rep stands for repetition.
As you will see, session 1 uses worksheet from a website - https://thisreadingmama.com/ . It came as part of a freebie item. I truly thank the website owner to have come up with such resourceful material. There are plenty on the site, I am yet to research those.
Here's how Rep Spell works.
---------------------------------
## eleze# 5 Rep Spell

# Material Used #
1) A4 sheets designed for this activity. Both sample and templates are attached in this post.
2) White crayon, Highlighter pen and Glitter pens, crayons 

NOTE: Before starting, it is highly recommended that the Parent looks at the sample worksheets designed for this activity. This will give a picture of what is involved.

 # The Activity #
>>Session 1 of the Week
Download Magic spelling sheet from this link - https://thisreadingmama.com/no-prep-spelling-pages/ (MAGIC SPELLING is not my work.) After you download the PDF, you will see that, it contains many spelling activity pages, few of which are Magic spelling related. Use those.
1) Choose 4 words and their rhyming words. One each for the chosen word. So you have total 8 words.
2) In the MAGIC spelling sheets, write each of these words once in a text box using the white crayon. The Parent has to do this step.
3) Give the sheets and a highlighter pen to the child. Ask her to highlight the words you have written. See the shine on the child's face as she sees the words surfacing!
4) Now, let the child herself spell and write all the words in respective boxes using the white crayon. And then, let her do the magic with the highlighter pen. Write and highlight every word 3-5 times. The child must read and spell during highlighting too.
>>Session 2 of the Week
Pack to use: eleze5-Rep Spell-Session2-Pack.pdf
1) Open session 2 pdf.
2) Ask the child to read the given short story/paragraph.
2) Follow the rest of the instructions given in the pack and complete the worksheets.
>>Session 3 of the Week
Pack to use: eleze5-Rep Spell-Session3-Pack.pdf
1) Open session 3 pdf.
2) Follow the instructions given in the pack and complete the worksheets.

Zeel was overwhelmed in session 1 with the magic spelling. She enjoyed writing with glitter pen and sketch pens in rest of the sessions. I figured out that she could remember the spellings when I asked her, after the last session.

Try it with your child and drop in a comment. If you need help with any templates, do write. Do not forget to share with other parents in your group!

    Super. Full of interesting activities around learning words. The magically appearing words with highlighter, is definitely the highlight for the kid who does this activity. The rest of it is also fun. Less burden for kid, as compared to learning in normal way.

Colors of my emotions

There are colors of my emotions Do you know? Like pearls in an ocean Do you know? O, how would you? You must look into my heart The acts it performs Reflect various shades of art Come, let's see This palette of colors You and I As we learn with joy. Does it ring the bell on which activity I am talking about? Colors indeed, but not discrete. Few days back, after the last Hindi matra activity, my brain was working around to decide what to take up next. When Zeel and I sat, I shared her my concern about not sure what to do next. She threw a couple of ideas, and in one such thought, happen to mention about making heart shaped chits (looking at her dress), picking the chit and going on treasure hunt for action words. Voila ! It struck a chord within me. Heart represents emotions, colors evoke emotions and the emotions drive actions...............Are you with me? Let's begin ! --------------------------------- ## eleze# 10 The colors of my emotions # Material Used # 1) Heart shaped ...

Seven berries

One day, my daughter Zeel asked why I don’t make EVS worksheets for her. So far, to make learning practice fun for her, I had created worksheets and hands-on activities for English, Hindi and Maths subjects. That’s how my blog site www.nesteleze.blogspot.com was born.  Her question made me thinking. And it was very true. Although I have been a Science student, somehow the EVS topics don’t interest me the way other subjects do, with regards to designing an activity or worksheet. So, in crafting something “different” as per Zeel’s demand, I had to motivate myself to design something for “EVS”. And that’s how SEVEN BERRIES was born. Centered on Zeel’s likes. The names of the friend berries are ingrained in her mind and heart, from the time I had been creating and reciting on the spot stories, more than a year back.  This work is at an infancy stage. So please do pardon me for anything that is not to your child’s liking or interest. But I am sure it won’t be a case!  Check o...

Eight. Elizabeth. Eleze.

Any connection do you see? Who is Elizabeth? Well, she will come into picture. Lets first talk about the beginning word of this writing piece - EIGHT. My daughter Zeel, turned eight recently. Is it a milestone? Hmm...I am not sure. But I do vividly remember her Life Skills teacher mentioning that kids at this age, in class two, want to achieve milestones. They want to make something, create a work by themselves. And, they will come to the parent, show it proudly, expecting an acknowledgement. As parents, we must pause whatever we are doing, look at the child and respond. Do not ignore.  So while she attempts to accomplish certain works (of art I believe, which is her interest area), a thought entered and sat in my mind. Firmly. At eight now, she, my daughter, should embark on the journey of reading children’s books/novels. Since the age of three, we have exposed her to stories. Reading to her not one, two but countless tales. Over the years, she has developed an ear for stories. An...
