Read and color glyph maker

Read two sentences, pick the true one, color the shape

Make a glyph page. Beside each of five plain shapes are two short sentences, such as “I like a cat: red.” and “I like a dog: tan.” Your child reads both, picks the one that is true and fills the shape in that color. Every word is one a beginner can sound out or a first sight word.

The reading skill

A glyph cannot be done from the pictures: both sentences have to be read and understood to choose. The finished shapes can be compared and talked about.
