That’s “riding” – not “writing”
For the longest time I’ve used my dressage cones to teach letters and to give the riders a marker to either stop at or make a circle. As the riders progressed, I’d ask them to stop their horse at a letter, then tell me a word that started with that letter. All part of the fun of therapeutic riding.
Last week, Mrs. Danneker, the teacher who brings her students for therapeutic riding once a week, asked if we could do words instead of letters. Why not! So sent me the sight words that the students were learning that week and I printed them out, put them in plastic holders and placed them on the four corner barrels.
The riders thought it was great to circle a word PLUS it reinforced their vocabulary words for the week. They were so proud when they found their word, too!
