Jot down words that individual children
continue to
have trouble unlocking even after several encounters.
Distribute personal lists to students
and have
them write, syllabify and define each word on a recipe card.
Ask them to file their cards in ABC
order in
private "treasure chests" (small boxes).
Work individually with children on
their word
cards at regular intervals.
When a word is thoroughly mastered, put
a gold
star on the card.
Students can embellish their own cards
with
dictionary-type illustrations as decoding aids and, perhaps, decorate
their boxes to resemble chests.
