Labeling: Sneaky and Helpful Reading

I was going to write about what to do when your child gets to an unknown word when reading, but I just couldn't fit that in today. I had to solve a big bathroom stressor for my daughters. One of them in particular hates the cold to the point she doesn't want to turn on the faucet. I'm pretty sure she's going to move to the South as soon as she can. We labeled hot and cold together. It's not pretty. If it helps them be independent, I'll deal with it. As an added bonus, it's sneaky letter/reading practice.

I wonder what we are going to end up labeling next...
