Witch Fingers: Idea #116

Does your student sometimes give you attitude when you ask them to read a story? Do they roll their eyes and drag their feet? Sometimes they just need a little extra encouragement to get them started. You should try using plastic witch fingers. Kids LOVE them. 

The plastic witch finger can help your student point to each word as they read. It can also help them not loose their spot in the page. Since the witch finger has a pointy fingernail, it can be used to follow each letter of a word. If it is not too distracting you might try glow-in-the-dark witch fingers for your student to use. If your student does a really good job reading you could give it to them. That would definitely get them reading more at home.

Have fun watching your student actually get excited to read to you!
