The blog will be used to share elementary reading ideas. Please share reading intervention strategies ideas and anchor chart ideas that you find effective in your elementary school classroom. Please provide a brief description of how the activity or anchor chart works in your classroom.
As a Kindergarten teacher, one of the most effective reading small group strategies that I use in my classroom is the use of small white boards. This allows students to practice writing letters as well as CVC words they might be practicing in small group. This type of activity can be completed independently or with a partner as well. The students love to use the markers instead of pencils. This provides motivation to learn to write as well as practice.
ReplyDeleteI love your ideas. I have also used small white boards. In addition to using markers, I have the students use magnetic letters to form words and sounds. After we create words together, I record them on anchor charts and display the charts on the wall.
DeleteWhen I introduced my students to verbs, I drew a Vickie Verb anchor chart, and the students brainstormed action words and acted them out as I added their verb to the chart with on a sticky note. My students refer to Vickie Verb often.We also created
ReplyDelete" Sup (-er,-ir, -ur ) Girl " anchor chart and we labeled her with words that had an r-controlled vowels in them , like "skirt", "shirt" etc. My students use both of these anchor charts when they are writing. My students get more meaning and use from the anchor charts since they shared in the creating of them.
I enjoyed reading your post. I have also seen the benefits of making anchor charts with the students. I also make sure that my word wall words come directly from the books that I read with my students. During intervention sessions, the students and I locate words that we add to the word wall together. I have found that my students are more likely to remember and use those words on the word wall.
DeleteWhen I introduced nouns and proper nouns we made an anchor chart using a T chart. First I read a Pete the Cat book to the class. Then, on one side we listed nouns. The first noun I listed was cat. On the proper noun side I wrote Pete the Cat. I explained that if we were talking about something in general, we would not need a capital letter. If we were naming something specific, we needed a capital letter because it was a proper noun. I would then give them a common noun, and have them tell me a proper noun for that common noun.
