Cut and Match Sentence-Word Strips
This is a practical writing activity that will work well even if students are not yet writing independently. If this activity is done with a whole class, extra adult helpers will be needed to assist with the writing and follow-up reading, or it can be managed in small groups. I recommend the activity is modelled for the class at the beginning of the lesson, and that everyone uses the same sentence.
Provide each student with a half page worksheet. Each has a sentence beginning. Students decide what they wish to write and an adult helper writes the words needed. Students then copy these words underneath and cut out the complete sentence and each word from the second line. Paste the sentence at the top of the page. Students use the sentence to match the correct words in order and compose the sentence onto a picture or into a scrap book to illustrate. Students should be encouraged to read back their own sentence when finished.
Strip Booklets
These are single page worksheets that allow students to write and read 5 simple sentences. In one quick lesson, students form an easy to read, repetitive booklet, to take home and read to the family. Simple sight words are used in each sentence.
