I found a couple different lists online and merged them to make my cards. Without getting into all the words I added from the other lists and ones that I thought should be on the list... here is the base I used:
I ran threw list A with Tristan. He did really well!! Only got hung up on "like". But once I reminded him that the 'e' was silent, he was on it! So, I moved on to list B. He did really well with that group too - only didn't know "by" right away.. he knew all the other words. Again, it's because he's already been reading books! Then Tristan told me to add them together! So, I did :)
We went through all 20 words quite a few times. He wanted to move on to the next list, so I made a deal with him. I told him if he could get through all 20 words without one mistake, I would move on to list C. It took him a few tries, but he was determined! And once he went through with no errors, I had him do it again and still no errors!
I kept my word and we moved on to list C. After running through those a few times, I added them all together. He wanted to keep going... but I told him I wanted him to get really good at these 30 words first. Then we will move on to the other words (he could see the stack of cards I had made).
I plan on packing the cards for him to take to my Mom's this weekend... so he can keep practicing.
