Alphabet: This is a wonderful way to get students to practice their letter identification and sounds. Simply cut out the alphabet fish cards and place a paper clip over each card. Fishermen (kids) will use their fishing line to catch a fish. The fishing lines can be bought commercially or made with a short stick, 20 inches of store string and a small magnet for the fishhook. Each child gets a turn trying to catch fish. If he can call a word that begins with the consonant sound on the fish he has caught, he may keep the fish. If he is unable to think of a suitable word he returns the fish, face down to the fishpond. This activity is for both small and large groups and is self-directed. Enjoy! Nicole A Teacher's Idea

How can your students get meaning from nonfiction texts? This can be done by checking for THIEVES. THIEVES is an active prereading strategy that allows students to skim and scan then summarise the information from informational texts before they actually begin reading the text. The acronym is explained as: “T” for title, “H” for headings, “I” for introduction, “E” for every first sentence, “V” for visuals and vocabulary, “E” for end of chapter questions, and “S” for summary. Your students can use this strategy to preview textbooks and other informational texts when they do not have an opportunity to read the entire selection. Although this is very useful remind your students that making time for the full reading of a text is the better way to go!
