Question Starters | Who, What, When, Where, Why, How?

PREMIUM RESOURCE | FONT OPTION: The Dolch Bundle is an excellent way to encourage the learning of high frequency words, by sight. The three supporting activities are Charts for reading and writing words separately or within sentences; Flashcards to enable the practising of words for immediate recognition; Word Bingo to have fun when reviewing and revising words while playing a game. The Bundle enables teachers to plan for differentiated learning by including the activities on the classroom management rotation board or the ‘Must do- Can do’ list. This is also a first rate resource for ESL / ESOL/ ELL students.

SMART RESOURCE | List 4 provides learners with fifty high frequency words. The words are presented individually with a cartoon sports image to create a colourful poster. At this stage, students are more reliant on initial letter/sound and letter sequence to identify the word. ‘Word Shape’ activities to aid spelling and create a ‘Word Find’ activity are included in the resource. A List 4 sheet of words and ‘How many words can you write?’ activity are additional. Finally, the Learning Intention and a further five activities are provided for extra student practise. Students should also be encouraged to find these words in their environment as well as using them in their reading and writing. The colour format is excellent for a teacher modelling book and student booklets.
