Materials:
Print out slides one through two. Cut out the words in slide one and give each student slide two. Provide markers for each student such as coins, beans, etc. This activity can be recreated on the floor by using tape to make sound boxes.
Directions:
Students will read the word. Then, students will segment the word using the markers and then slide across the arrow to say all the sounds together (blend).
Materials:
Print out this slide and give a pencil to each student. Fold the paper into a book.
Directions:
Teacher/assistant and students will track and read the high-frequency words.
Materials:
Print out slides four and five and give each student a pencil. Give each student a die or have them take turns using it.
Directions:
Student rolls the die. Then, they match the number to the column of high-frequency words. Read one high-frequency word under that column. Then, write that high-frequency word down. Continue this activity until slide five is filled-up with high-frequency words. Some words may be written more than once.
Materials:
Print out this slide and give a pencil and crayons to each student. Tell students they will write a story. Use the picture of the fish to write about the character’s feelings. Consider brainstorming ideas before writing.
Directions:
Ask the students to write about the character’s feelings using the picture provided. Students should write between two to four sentences. Remind students to include a beginning, middle and ending of the story. Make sure that they are using an upper case letter at the beginning, finger space between words and punctuation marks at the end. Allow students to stretch out the words to spell. Prior to the activity, create an example for the students.
