Guided Response: In addition to responding to your instructor’s comments and questions, respond to at least two of your peers. How would you enhance the activities? Do you think the activities supported the text and anchor standards? Suggest any changes or improvement.      Here are the three word study activities/games I have chosen 1. Pick up sticks Played with two to four students, Pick Up Sticks requires a set of popsicle sticks with words to be practiced written on one end of each stick. One stick has the word ZAP! written at the end. All sticks are placed word‐end down, into a can, cup, or some other opaque container. Play begins with one student pulling a stick up from the container. If the player can pronounce the word, he or she gets to keep the stick. If the word cannot be pronounced quickly it must be returned to the container. In turn, each player pulls one stick at a time. Play continues until the ZAP! stick is pulled. At this point, the player with the most sticks is the winner. Students love the suspense that develops as the number of remaining sticks becomes smaller and smaller. (Rasinski,T. & Padak, N.D., 2013) 2. Match (Concentration) Match is another word card game and is best played in pairs. Two word cards are made for each word used in the game. Usually, between 10 and 15 words (20 to 30 cards) are sufficient. Students can make word cards from a clean deck of 3 × 5 cards, or they can be drawn from students’ personal word banks. If drawn from word banks, the cards need to be marked for easy return to the owner, and players must ensure that each card has a match.  The card deck is shuffled and laid out in a grid, face down. Students take turns turning over and pronouncing two cards at a time. If the two word cards match, the student wins the pair and selects another two cards. If the cards do not match, the cards are turned back over and the next player takes a turn. Play continues until all cards have been matched. Players count the cards they have accumulated, and the player with the most cards is the winner.(Rasinski,T. & […]

“How teachers view the home language of students and their families plays a significant role in teachers’ expectations and respect for students’ cultures. Speaking a different dialect or language…should not prejudice teachers’ attitudes towards children. But it too often does” (Perry & Delpit, 1998, p. xiv). Respecting and honoring a child’s home language is an essential t objective for any teacher. The success in integrating […]
