The first reply was superb, so I don't have much to add...I also include letter writing in my writing center. I teach them the friendly letter format and letters going out of the room must be proofed by me. I had a parent| who worked for American Greetings and gave us lots of colored envelopes and I bought a mailbox at Home Depot. I also have spelling stations. These are various activities to allow the students to practice their assigned words. These include using magic slates to write their words, small chalkboards, small dry erase boards, painting their words, typing them on the computer, letter stencils, | |
making word searches and then trading papers with someone. I also bought folders that have a slash for the front part (at Office Max) and attached them to the side of each students desk with velcro. They keep their guided reading books in there to practice when they have extra time. This is in additon to the paired reading they do like in the above reply. I just bought Word Matters, also by Pinnell and Fountas. I can't wait to read it and get more great ideas! I also like Activities for any Spelling Unit by Betty Martin Fox (Teacher Created Materials, Inc.). It has wonderful ideas for every day of the week!
