Our enthusiastic young learners are engaged in daily activities involving reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Recently we have been working on creating our very own Picture Dictionaries. This activity is fun, collaborative, and develops many skills. We do this activity in small groups so that we can effectively scaffold skill development. There are many steps involved in creating each new page…
1. Write the upper and lower case letter
- develops fine motor, letter recognition and letter formation skills
2. Figure out three words that begin with that letter and draw pictures of them
- strengthens letter-sound correspondence and develops fine motor skills
3. Sound out the word and write the word using kid writing
- increases phonemic awareness and develops decoding skills
4. Come up with a definition for each word and dictate to the teacher
- develops verbal skills and is often hilarious!
