Create Index Card Sentences

Work on basic sentence structure with your students.

On 10 index cards, write basic subjects (using your vocabulary words), such as "The dragon," "David," or "The drink."
On another 10 cards, write sentence predicates in a different color ink. You might write "eats chocolate," "built a treehouse," or "tastes like watermelon."
Ask students to pick index cards from the "subject" pile and the "predicate" pile.
If they can read, ask them to read the sentence aloud. If they can't read yet, you can read the sentence aloud and wait for the chuckles to unfold.

Design Delightful Compliments

Practice parts of speech and focus on the letter D at the same time. Have students come up with a list of adjectives that start with D for more inspiration! They can write complimentary cards to each other during a focus on kindness, or craft messages to their parents for Mother's and Father's Day. You can use these positive words that start with D for more inspiration.

How does a dormant garden sound? You can open up the floor to any variety of poetry. Perhaps you'll require a certain rhyming pattern or allow free verse.

Work on Alliteration

Once students have experience with writing poetry, they can identify alliteration in other written works. Use these alliteration examples for kids to teach the value of repetition and sound devices in literature and poetry. Incorporate the repeated D sound to focus on the letter of the week.

Deliberate Determination Gets the Deed Done

With deliberate determination, you can help your students embrace a lifelong love affair with words. Let the learning begin as you not only introduce new words to your students but also allow them to find new ways to implement them into their everyday lives.
