ACTIVITY
1. Distribute Activity Sheet A. Explain that each of CJs puzzles is missing a letter. As a class, complete the puzzle at the top right. Ask what letter would make both words complete (either A or E is correct). B S T Have students write one of the letters in the empty box. 2. Give students time to complete the activity sheet. The sample page shown here contains a set of correct answers. However, students may have different correct answers. 3. Distribute Activity Sheet B so that students can help CJ create more puzzles using words from current spelling lists: Find two words that contain the same letter. Print one vertically and the other horizontally, leaving an empty box for the shared letter. Trace over the dashed lines of the squares in the puzzle you just made. Make more puzzles to fill the page. 4. Have students exchange activity sheets and solve each others puzzles. JumpStart Advanced 1 st Grade
