Grade 7 - Grade 12
Basic Reading
Decoding/Encoding
Before the activity begins, prepare a page that contains all of the sight words. Provide each student with a copy of the page. Each student
should cut out the letters/syllables from the words in his copy of the stencil. When a student has cut out all of the letters/syllables, he/she
should hold all of the letters/syllables in one hand, placing one letter/syllable on his/her desk. Say a sight word. If a student's letter/syllable
(that is on his/her desk) is found in the word you said, he/she should show it and then place that let ter/syllable to the side. The student
should then place another let ter/syllable on his/her desk. Continue in this way until a student or students have no letters/syllables left
in their hands or on their desks. This activity may be repeated more than once by collect ing and re-distributing the letters/syllables to the
students.
Basic Writing
• The Other Half
Cut each of the sight words in half. Give each student a sheet of writing paper, a pen and one of the word-halves. Each student should
glue the word-half on his/her writing paper and then complete the spelling of the word. You may wish to have enough word-halves prepared
so that each student completes more than one word. Af terwards, review the students' responses.
• Numbered Illustrations
Mount the vocabulary illustrations on the chalkboard and number each illustration. Provide each student with writing paper and a pen. Call
the number of an illustration. Each student should write the vocabu lary word for the illustration represented by that number. Repeat until
all vocabulary words for the illustra tions have been written. Review the students' responses.
• Word Completion
Before the activity begins, prepare clozure cards for the sight words; omit letters and syllables. Provide each student with a clozure card.
Call upon the students to complete their words on the clozure cards by writing-in the missing parts. Afterwards, re view the students'
responses.
• What's Your Letter
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).
Review the students' responses to determine if all letters from the sight word were used. If all letters from the sight word were not
used, call upon the students to identify the letters that are "missing." Repeat with other sight words.
