These fl exible suggestions will allow you to match activities to each child’s level.

• Hold up a card as you introduce that vocabulary word, pointing out the pictures and letters as you sound out the words.

• Pull out the cards for one week and provide them in a center where children may access them as needed to practice and review lesson vocabulary.

• Encourage production of oral language. Read the contextual sentence to a small group. Then, have children discuss the ideas raised by the sentence. To start discussion ask, What does this make you think of?

• Have pairs take turns using them as fl ash cards to review vocabulary words from previous weeks up to the current week.

• Encourage children to make word connections by: (1) putting word cards into categories that you suggest, (2) naming a category for a group of word cards, (3) picking cards from a pile and making up sentences using one or more of the words.

• Use the cards any time for one-on-one assessment of word recognition and pronunciation, as well as vocabulary comprehension. Read or show the defi nition then ask for the word, and vice versa.
