Study Notes
Disappearing Ink
- Also known as invisible or magic ink
- Ink becomes temporarily or permanently invisible after writing or drawing
- Benefits: Encourages curiosity, creativity, imagination, improves writing skills, promotes teamwork and exploration
-
Steps:
- Spray water into a bottle
- Write or draw on a board using chalk
- Gently wet the board with water to make the ink disappear
Sentence Strips
- An educational tool for reading, writing, and language development
- Sentence strips can be pre-printed with sentences or phrases
- Benefits: Develops reading and writing skills, improves grammar, encourages creative writing and storytelling, fosters collaboration and discussion
- How to Use: Write or type sentences/phrases/words on paper or card
Reappearing Magic Ink
- Combines science and creativity
- Uses special ink that becomes invisible when dry but reappears under certain conditions (heat or chemical reaction)
- Benefits: Engages learning, sparks curiosity, introduces scientific concepts like chemical reactions and physical properties, develops fine motor skills, encourages creative expression
- Materials: Clean white paper, coloring materials (crayons, color pencils, watercolors), water
- How to use: Write any word on the paper using white crayons/color pencils, brush with water color, the water color will reveal the word
Replay Analysis
- Strategic education approach where learners repeatedly engage with specific text or information (re-reading, re-writing, re-telling, re-enacting, re-creating the content)
- Benefits: Enhanced comprehension, improved retention, deeper understanding, increased fluency, boosted confidence, personalized learning
-
How to do Replay Analysis:
- Select a text
- Initial reading (independently or in a guided group)
- Replay activities (re-reading, re-writing, etc)
On the Go Activities
- Multisensory literature teaching activities that engage students actively and physically outside the traditional classroom
- Benefits: Strengthen letter recognition, help students associate letters with real-life objects improving vocabulary, build memory and recall
Letter Pattern Word Tracing Activity
- Students trace over printed or pre-written words to enhance pattern recognition and improve spelling
- Benefits: Enhanced pattern recognition, helping students recognize and remember common structures, development of fine motor skills
Rice Sensory Tub
- A container filled with rice, often combined with small toys/objects
- Designed for children to explore and play with their senses
- Benefits: Supports fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, creativity and sensory processing
Letter Body
- Children form different letters of the alphabet using their own bodies (individually, with a partner, or in a group)
- Benefits: Encourages children to think about letter shapes and develop gross motor skills
Ball Toss
- Active game where learners practice speaking skills and reinforce vocabulary
- Steps: Pupils form a circle, first player says a letter sound, tosses the ball to another player, the other player says the next letter sound forming a word
Spinners
- Easy phonics practice for home or classroom
- Students spin a paper roll with words to practice "sounding out" groups of rhyming words.
Playing with Different Fonts
- Engages learners visually, verbally, and kinesthetically, enhancing letter recognition
- Materials: Various fonts (magazines, storybooks, posters, product labels)
- Steps: Give letter tiles, let learners pick a random letter and spell words starting with that letter
Talking Words/Sight Words/Flip book and Thumbs Up
- engaging activity to develop phonemic awareness and early literacy skills
- Helps children identify, think about and manipulate individual sounds in spoken words
- How to do: Dividing pupils into groups, having them say letter sounds and combine to make words.
Word Building
- Instructional approach for reading, spelling, and vocabulary development, engaging multiple senses (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, tactile)
- Strategies: Word building activities like word-sorts, manipulating letters and sounds, creating new words with common parts
- Benefits: Helps students understand word structures, meaning, how parts can be altered, reinforce spelling and phonics skills, and build vocabulary
Word Sorts - Inductive Analysis
- Students categorize words based on specific features or patterns to increase word recognition, understanding of word patterns, spelling rules, and meaning.
- Benefits: Improves spelling, phonics, vocabulary knowledge, and word recognition
Sentence Mix Up Strips
- An activity for improving sentence structure and vocabulary
- Description: A sentence is broken down into individual words, mixed up, and students rearrange them to form a grammatically correct sentence
- Benefits: Enhances sentence building skills, vocabulary knowledge, critical thinking, and ability to follow directions
