FLUENCY

Flash cards- Cards will have a different custom, picture, or other characteristic

relating to the specific country (either the United States, Mexico, Japan, of the African Safari.) Students will need to identify which cards go with which country.

-These cards will also contain spelling words and words found in the text to help students recognize and apply these words.

-The teacher can use these cards to create a game to encourage students to convert these words to their long-term memory. (Ex. Students can play ‘Around the World’, Jeopardy, or Baseball.)

“Vacation Day”- Students which country they would like to take a vacation to. They then use the appropriate words from their spelling, flashcards, and other resources to create a story of their vacation in their country. This story will include things they want to see, do, learn, and etc.

-Students can build on and use this story to get familiar with the words.

-This is a fun and exciting way to get students motivated about learning.

-Students can share these stories with their classmates, which will help others learn and well.
