Extreme WordsWord Analysis
Objective Identify the relationship among words
Materials Sorting board Large word cards Small word cards Envelopes Activity Sheet Pencils
Activity• Place the sorting board and envelopes
containing the word card sets at the center.• Provide each player with an activity sheet.• Taking turns, students open one of the
envelopes, scatter cards, and place larger cards on either end of the sorting board.
• Read the other word cards. Talk about the words and what they mean to determine the order. Place on sorting board.
• Record the information on the activity sheet.• Continue until each activity sheet is complete.
Purpose Students determine relationships among words by placing them on a continuum.
Prefix and Suffix WarGOAL: The object of the game is to win all the cards.
SET UP: Deal out all the cards, so that each player has the same number.Players do not look at their cards, but keep them in a packet face down.
PLAY: Both players now turn their top card face up and put them on the table.Whoever turned the card over with the prefix or the suffix takes both cards and adds them (face down) to the bottom of their packet. Then both players turn up their next card and so on. If neither card has a prefix or suffix, nobody gets the cards.
What if both players turn over a card with a prefix or suffix?If the turned up cards BOTH have a prefix or a suffix there is a war. The tied cards stay on the table and both players play the next card of their pile face down and then another card face-up. Whoever has the card with a prefix or a suffix of the new face-up cards wins the war and adds all six cards face-down to the bottom of their packet. If the new face-up cards are equal as well, the war continues. The war goes on like this as long as the face-up cards continue to both have prefixes or suffixes. As soon as they are different, the player of the higher card wins all of the cards in the war.
DirectionsFor one person:
Lay out all of the word tags and match the synonym pairs. Complete the activity sheet. For two people:
Mix up all of the word cards and spread them out face down on the table. Taking turns, turn over two cards. If the two words are synonyms, you get to keep the cards. If not, turn the cards back face down, and the other person takes a turn. The player with the most synonym pairs at the end of the game is the winner.

Affix MatchMorphemic Elements
Objective Identify the meaning of affixes.Materials Affix and meaning cards
Activity• Place the affix and meaning cards face down

read them.• Determine if cards show an affix and its
meaning (e.g., re-, again).• If there is a match, pick up cards and place
to the side.• If cards do not match, return cards to their
original position.• Continue until all matches are formed.
PurposeStudents match affixes to their meanings by playing a memory game.

FLUENCY
Multisyllabic WordsFlash Cards
between
be-tween
Used the way we use other reading fluency flash cards, each high frequency multisyllabic word is divided by syllable structure for easy decoding. The advanced code for difficult vowel patterns is bolded as well to provide even more support for proper decoding practice.
Materials multisyllabic words
PurposeThese cards offer an effective way to teach those all-so-difficult multisyllabic words.
Readers’ Theatre is an activity in which students, while reading directly from scripts, are able to tell a story in a most entertaining form, without props, costumes, or sets. This is a reading activity, and students are not asked to memorize their lines. They are, however, encouraged to "ham it up" and use intonation and gestures appropriate to their characters and their characters’ words.Readers’ Theater serves many useful functions: It provides repeated reading practice—an important factor in building fluency. Repeated reading practice also improves students’ confidence in, and enthusiasm for reading. It’s an enjoyable change of pace from everyday practice sessions.
Reader’s TheaterPractice reading scripts with your brother and sister and then
perform for your parents at the end of the week.
"Select a portion of a book on tape or CD (or a portion that you read aloud). Have the child follow along as he listens to the selection being read. Then let him try to read aloud along with you or the recording. Then, listen to his reading the passage aloud by himself.”

Silent-Letter Word FluencyWhat to do!
Assemble a stack of around 12 index cards with silent-letter words printed on them. (Once students are comfortable with silent-letter words, you might include in the pack some words the students already know.) Now let's play a game. We're going to try to go through this stack of cards as fast as we can, saying the word on each card. Let's see how fast we can go. Remember, some letters stay silent when you read the word. My turn first. Next, model taking the top card off the stack, showing it to the students, and saying the word after a pause. Continue through the stack. Do you think you can go faster than I did? Call on a single student in the group, starting with a student you think may be slower. Show the first card: What's the word? If the student is incorrect, correct him, have him repeat your answer, and move tothe next card. Praise correct answers. Okay, now let's go faster. Shuffle the stack of cards and repeat with students in the same order, but encourage them togo faster. If time and focus allow, shuffle and repeat at an even faster pace.

Word Ladders
Word ladders actively involves the learner in analyzing the structure and meaning of words. To play, students begin with one word and then make a series of other words by changing or rearranging the letters in the word before.
PurposeDevelop students’ decoding and vocabulary skills
Have the child read a book of his or her choosing and present an oral advertisement for the book. The goal of this activity is to convince the audience to read the book he or she has just finished. This is also a good activity to use when teaching the art of persuasive writing. This activity can be completed as a group with follow-up discussions about the similarities and differences between each ad. He may want to practice several times, recording himself, and then perform the advertisement for family members.
