What can we do with words?
As the year goes on and more words are on the word wall, you can dictate entire sentences that are made up of word wall words. Repeat each sentence slowly and remind the students about grammar and mechanics. Check and chant each word in the sentence in the usual manner. You also can dictate only questions, or exclamatory sentences to work on punctuation during your word wall time.
This is one of my kids’ favourite activity with flashcards. I placed some flashcards in different baskets. Then I asked them to choose some of the cards to write sentences or a story.
Either the sentences or the story can be nonsense. And this is the funniest part.
