Yep, you read write... we stretched words out just like bubble gum!

| Guess it was a long word we were stretching! |
We've been talking about how good writers stretch words out and listen for the sounds that they hear in words they don't know how to spell. This can be a bit of an abstract concept for kiddos so I brought it down to their level by literally stretching words out with bubble gum. This was a fun and motivating activity that has carried over well into our writing.(Don't worry- we all promised to NEVER EVER do this at home unless we are using out invisible bubble gum)

This is us practicing our new skill as we work
as a whole group to write a story. |
When your child is writing at home and doesn't know how to spell a word, ask them to show you how they would stretch it like bubble gum.
