Laziness Perhaps...


This is what Dolly got for her birthday from Chasm's Lady. They're reusable upper and lower case letter stickers! Sir laughed at me since he was almost convinced that I loved these letters more than Dolly does.... maybe we love them the same? That's ok isn't it?

Today Dolly and I put the alphabet pairs up on her bedroom wall, but as you can see from the picture, there are a few extra letters. Since I'm working on teaching Dolly to read, I wanted to just make up a few words to stick on the sticker-less wall for Dolly to practice sight-reading/memorizing. But, I'm too lazy to think up all the combinations... that and I get too carried away and end up with far too complicated words. 'Battle' and 'Lace' and 'Toil' and 'Runny' are not exactly words for a 3 year old to begin with!

So, what words would you create with the letters:
A - C - E - E - L - B - A - T - T - I - L - N - O - R - R - N - S - S - U - I - Y ?

On my first try, I came up with our surname, BALL, LOT, RUIN and TREES. And I didn't have any leftover letters! Although, 'ruin' might be a little too advanced for someone who's barely mastered the capitalized alphabet, and our Hungarian surname is almost always mis-read by nearly eveyone who sees it for the first time!

Anyway, I think I'll post this for everyone else to think about, while I go take my nap before my kids wake up! Have fun!

  1. This is what I came up with in only a few minutes. I think you're going to be swamped.

    How about: I, in, on, at, no, yes, bee, bat, sun, run, cry, car, try, sit, care, lion, nest, burn, sorry, little

  2. Try three letter words with the short vowel sounds.

    Cat, can, ran, ben, yen, rat, sat, set, bet, net, let, yet, bit, lit, cot, tot, not, rot, cut, but, nut, rut, ton (special sound), bun, run, roy, boy, coy, soy, toy, son, sun, sin, bat, etc.

    These words will help get her on the road to reading!

  4. Someone has nothing to do! Or at least he's not lazy.

  5. He probably ran it through a word compiler, you put in all the letters you want, and then it makes a bunch of words.
