Lesson 9<br />

Grade 7 - Grade 12<br />

Basic Writing<br />

• What's Your Letter<br />

Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Say a sight word. Each student should then write ONE letter from that word (any letter).<br />

Review the students' responses to determine if all letters from the sight word were used. If all letters from the sight word were not<br />

used, call upon the students to identify the letters that are "missing." Repeat with other sight words.<br />

• Every Second Letter<br />

Write a sight word on the chalkboard, omitting every second let ter. Provide the students with writing paper and pens. The students should<br />

look at the incomplete word on the chalkboard and then write the sight word for it on their papers. Repeat using other sight words.<br />

• Word Build<br />

Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Cut each of the sight words into its individual letters. Give each student one of the cut<br />

out letters. Each student should then glue the cut out letter onto his/her sheet of writing paper. Then, each student should add the missing<br />

letters to complete the original sight word. Afterwards, review the students' responses. You may wish to provide each student with more<br />

than one cut out letter so that he/she writes a num ber of the sight words.<br />

• Syllable Time<br />

Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Say a syllable that is found in one of the sight words. Each student should then write<br />

the sight word that contains that syllable. De pending upon the syllable that you say, more than one sight word may be cor rect. Repeat this<br />

process with other syllables. Afterwards, review the students' responses.<br />

• Numbered Illustrations<br />

Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard and number each illustration. Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Call<br />

the number of an illustration. Each student should write the vocabu lary word for the illustration represented by that number. Repeat until<br />

all vocabulary words for the illustra tions have been written. Review the students' responses.<br />
