Sometimes it is the most simple activities that really make it click with my kiddos. We are working on commas in a series this week. I had some little sweeties that just still didn't get it.
Enter Comma Sticks!
It was so spur of the moment that I didn't even take a picture, but basically it is two tongue depressors with a large comma drawn on each one with a Sharpie. I had sentences written on my easel that needed commas (Mom cooked pizza hot dogs and burgers for the cookout.). The kiddos would then grab a comma stick in each hand, read the sentence out loud, and punch forward with a comma stick when they got to a spot that needed a comma. It was like magic! Something about those simple sticks really helped my strugglers get it.
I bet they had fun with this activity! Sometimes kiddos just need a visual!!
