The Word Center is home to lots of literacy learning.
Here are just a few of the activities we have available:
*Word clothesline- Students use a
mini-clothesline to clip letters in order
to spell out word wall words, names,
word bank words, etc. Then they
record them to take home.
*Word family strips- Students use
rime fold-overs to create new words
in the same "family." Then they
record all the words they made.
*"Write the word" cards- Students
use letter/phonic knowledge to write
the word on each laminated picture
card.
*ABC beads- Students spell out words
by stringing alphabet beads in order on
pipe cleaners. Then they can make them
into "word bracelets" to share with their
parents.
*Make a Sentence- Students arrange
magnetic words/pictures in a logical
order to create sentences. They are
encouraged to record their sentences
to share with their families.
*Grab Bag- Students grab plastic
letters out of a drawstring bag.
They may either write a word which
begins with that letter or pull out
several letters to make one word.
They love to pull out 2 consonants
and a vowel to make real and nonsense
words! Of course, they record these
words, too.
