1. Make a word using commonly used words to help students with their vocabulary.

Step 1: Look up words and write them on a sticky note.

Step 2: Alphabetize them and put the sticky notes on the wall.

Step 3: Teach students each row and help them memorize and learn each word.

2. Teach students how to write commonly used words.

Materials:

- Whiteboard

- Dry Erase Markers

Step 1: Write commonly used words on the whiteboard.

Step 2: Use different color dry erase markers to underline the different word parts starting. with

the prefix, the root word, and the suffix all in different letters.

Step 3: Tell students to sound out the different word parts and blend them to read the whole word

with the underline colors.

3. Make a worksheet that is composed of a word list that begins with the different letters of

the alphabet.

Step 1: Type a different word list that begins with the different letters of the alphabet.

Step 2: Tell students to read each list by sounding out the different parts of the word and

blending the prefixes, the root word, and the suffixes.

Step 3: Mark the students' correct answers and wrong answers as they wrote on the activity.

Mark out the ones that are incorrect by crossing out the word.

Step 4: Score the students' work and help work on the words that they had gotten wrong.

4. Make paper fortune teller and help teach students new words

Materials:

Step 1: Make fortune tellers.

Step 2: Write numbers on each of the squares.

Step 3: Turn the square over and write numbers on the inside triangles.

Step 4: Open the triangles and write different vocabulary words.

Step 5: Play the game with students and teach them number words.

Step 6: Tell the student to pick a number and open the flaps left to right revealing the next set of

numbers from the number that the student had chosen.

Step 7: Tell students to pick a number from the inside flaps.

Step 8: Open up the flap that the student had chosen revealing a vocabulary word.
Step 9: Help them to read the word by separating the word into syllables

I had seen in one of the videos that I had watched that a teacher had used a word wall to help her

students to learn better. Instead of the word wall, I had chosen to use sticky notes for my activity.

With the sticky notes activity, I hope to teach students commonly used words to help them not

only to learn new words but also to help them to improve their vocabulary and spelling. With the
activity of teaching students to learn commonly used words, I plan to teach them new vocabulary

words and how to write these new words at the same time. With the activity that incorporates the

different letters of the alphabet, I plan to help students not only to memorize the alphabet but also

learn new words. With the paper fortune teller activity, I plan to help students to learn new

words in a game that they can easily follow and memorize. Students can easily make this game

themselves and learn the new words that they learn from school. I will also include some sight

words that students can learn that I will incorporate into one of the activities. I know this game is

used to tell fortunes but I wanted to use this as an activity to help my students to learn new

words. I hope these activities will help my students with their reading by helping them to learn

new words to improve their vocabulary.
