Hello All, how do you get the top table dialog on the teakdoor homepage to display? The one that shows the last 10posts from members? It seems to have disappeared..
Dunno about top ten but you can hit “new posts” right under the TD logo and see all the latest posts.
If something his changed for you about the way the forum is working, I’d suggest clearing your browser cache to see if it helps.
AdminNev is the expert but i fear he has powered down for the off-peak period.
You have probably turned the top ten Stats off inadvertently. To re-enable them go to Quick Links and at the bottom of the list of choices click on Enable Top Statistics.Quote:

Nev, is there a halfway house before jail, like a naughty step you can make Dave wait on and it only allows him to post with words of four letters or less?

I'm OK with longer words, even worlds with 5/6 letters, such as would, could and should (I'm teaching my kids 'sight words ATM).Quote:

Yes, but as Dave48 is my best friend on TD I couldn't possibly do that to him.Quote:

I can still remember my kid coming back with a list of words to memorise along the lines of:
Bicycle
Ambulance
Horse
container.
Completely effed up.
I think I just blushed :wall:Quote:

Thank you Nev you are the Don!
It it only took me another 15mins after reading this to find the menu as hidden behind the search box when using mobile.. :yerman:
And I think the next menu option “Yer a c...” must also be hidden!
You're obviously not a big enough cnut yet. Give yersel some time, lad. It'll come. :)Quote:

I understand what niddy is referring to, but the Sight words are supplementary to phonics.
We play Word Bingo at Home and when that becomes a little easy for them I get them to spell the word,
and when that becomes too easy, I get them making sentences with the words.
One Son is topping the class with this, got an award presented infront of the School Kids. The other son
finished second and there is daylight to the next student.
I'm quite proud of the litter tackers.
Oh, one of then is channeling Nev ... he's identified the difference between Then and Than :)
Good on you and them!Quote:

Good One ... we'll give that a go.Quote:

Or maybe face up to start then face down when they have mastered the easy way?
Thanks for the tip.
Well, they obviously need to see the word to make the connection between the spoken form and the written form, and I've always done it face up, but if they're quite strong then why not push them a bit more by putting them face down and they search for them or, as you say, doing it face up first and then turning them over? You decide 'cos you know their ability, but I'd go face up first in most situations.Quote:

If you keep the chopsticks, you could have them do it as a race and they pick the word up and bring it to you, but they can't use their hands (this is great fun in teams). Obviously, you need two sets of words for that.
If you can factor movement into an activity, you're on a winner with almost all children.

The Dolch Sight Words list is the most commonly used set of sight words. Educator Dr. Edward William Dolch developed the list in the 1930s-40s by studying the most frequently occurring words in children’s books of that era. The list contains 220 “service words” plus 95 high-frequency nouns. These words comprise 80% of the words you would find in a typical children’s book and 50% of the words found in writing for adults. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier, because the child can then focus his or her attention on the remaining words.
The Dolch words are commonly divided into groups by grade level, ranging from pre-kindergarten to third grade, with a separate list of nouns. There are a total of 315 Dolch Sight Words.
