Writing

Provide children with letters from different materials, sizes, textures and shapes as well as alphabet puzzles, bingo, lotto, memory games, letter sound matching activities, letter beads, flashcards, and discovery bottles.

It is very important to store the different materials in envelopes or Ziploc bags so that children can find what they need.

They can make cards for their family, teachers around the building, and students within the room.

Write a poem

1. Use carbon paper to trace the words.
2. Copy the poem onto stationary

At the beginning, students just write ten words they can read. Later in the year, the recording sheet gets harder as students have to make categories of words.

Copy down as many words that are displayed around the room as you can. Or in partners, one partner points to a word and the other partner writes it down and vice versa.

Use the little pads that you write on, lift up the plastic, and the word disappears

These activities can make Write the Room more structured:
