What is a SNAP word?
Our goal in kindergarten is for your child to know all 40 snap words by the end of kindergarten. We do many activities and play lots of games that focus on these words in class. The complete list of Kindergarten Snap Words is in your child's folder as a reference. Things that you can do at home to make learning these words fun:
1. Write words with sidewalk chalk
2. Form words with playdoh
3. Play memory
4. Play hangman
5. Write the words with markers or colorful pens.
