Learning Objectives
Students will be able to read and write common high frequency words that start with the letter A. Students will be able to manipulate letters to correctly spell high frequency words.
The adjustment to the whole group lesson is a modification to differentiate for children who are English learners.
Introduction
(5 minutes)
- Have your students go on a treasure hunt to find the sight words of the day!
- After cutting out the sight word flash cards and placing each word in a mystery bag around the room, have your students walk around the room with a partner and find the hidden sight words.
- After your students have found all of the words, tell them that they will be working on spelling and saying A sight words!
Beginning
- Review common sight words in both English and students' home language (L1).
- Model the activity prior to pairing students together for the scavenger hunt.
Intermediate
- Have students repeat back instructions for the activity to a partner to ensure understanding of the steps.
