squares on the front. Open and

Word Walk (Jean Custantine)
Write sight words on paper
footsteps. Laminate and lay in a
path around the classroom.
Students walk the word walk and read the words.
Pick and Spell (Amberly Qualls)
1. Pick a sight word out of a can.
2. Spell it with magnetic letters.
3. Write the word.
CVC Words (Betty
Tillis)
Put three strips of
masking tape on the door. Put a
magnetic letter on each strip to make a CVC word. Students have to blend the sounds and read the word to get
in the classroom.
Digraph Burrito Book
(Eden Rhynehart)
Fold a sheet of paper into
a burrito (thirds) and flatten.
Write “sh,” “ch,” and “th” in the different sections. Children look for words beginning or
ending with these digraphs in reading passages and write them in the
appropriate section.
Word Burrito Book
After making the burrito
book, open it up. Children write a
word in the top section. Next,
they trace around the word several times with different colors of crayons to
make a rainbow word. In the middle
section they illustrate the word.
In the bottom section they use the word in a sentence.
Block Sentences (Linda Edwards)
Put words or letters on
unit blocks. Children can put the
blocks together to make sentences or CVC words.
Password of the Day (Marisol Ryley)
Post a different word each
day outside the classroom door.
Children must read it before they can enter.

Liz Rampy attended a
conference I did in November and shared her website with me. With all the emphasis on standards,
it’s nice to see some attention given to character education. Liz does a great job of integrating
civic responsibility with academic skills.
