ObjectiveThe student will read high frequency words.
MaterialsHigh frequency word cards (Activity Master P.HFWC.001 - P.HFWC.050)Select target words.Checkerboard (Activity Master P.042.AM1) Make four copies of the checkerboard on card stock, connect to make a full size checkerboard, and laminate.Checkers (Activity Master P.042.AM2)Vis-à-Vis® markerWrite target high frequency words on the squares of the game board.
ActivityStudents practice reading high frequency words while playing a checker game.1. Place the checkerboard on a flat surface with the corner white square to the student’s left.
Place checkers on the board in the traditional manner.2. Taking turns, students move a checker to a word (either directly or by jumping and taking
an opponent’s piece) and orally read the word on the square.3. If able to read the word correctly, keeps the checker on that square. If unable to read the
