I have been working with Cullan on these sight word flash cards all week.
He had been doing ok. He would average between 50 to 60% accuracy with about 40 cards.
I could tell that he would get board and would just kind of guess. He would say words that did not even sound similar to the word we were working with.
So tonight, I thought I would switch it up.
I bought a bag of M&M's and put one on each card as I laid them out on the table.
Guess what I figured out...
Cullan just needed a little motivation...
and I found it.
With M&M's on the cards his accuracy went up to about 95% accuracy.
Go figure.
He knew the words and even the few that he was not sure about he was pretty close.
That kid can be such a stinker.
Well we not be doing M&M's every night, but maybe I will break them out when I need to see just how much he actually knows.
