New Phonics Activity

G loves to write, but isn't so excited about phonics so yesterday it came to me to try having him write the words we're working on reading on his white board. It worked wonderfully. We did it until he was bored with it and we got an extra 15-20 minutes of phonics in. I'm hoping this will help solidify the concept we are currently working on, the silent e.

What is wrong with me that I didn't think of this before? I wonder how long it will last.
