It doesn’t seem possible, but summer is over and school starts tomorrow! That meant it was time to culminate Travis’s summer sight word practice with one final fun activity.

I wrote each word from our index cards onto the top of a paper cup.

I challenged Travis to build the cups into towers – any way he chose! – but as he worked, he had to say the word on that cup.

Not only was this a neat building challenge, but I was able to pinpoint which words still gave him pause.

The activity is so simple but so beneficial, we’ll keep these cups on hand for the school year!

Plus it became a race to see if he could blurt the correct word before the resident menace (baby sister) came over to knock down his towers.
