READING MEETING PART 5
Choose 4 to 5 words each week to practice each day with one of these strategies.
Sign Language - As you introduce new words, teach children the signs for the words by using the dictionary at aslpro.com.
Word Supervisor - Each day choose a different sight word and it on an index card. Tape the word to a visor and choose a child to be the “word supervisor” for the day. Whenever you leave the class, that child stands at the door with their arm extended. Friends must read the word on the visor before exiting the classroom.
