Mini Lesson on Word Recognition
Creating a mini lesson on word recognition was exciting, because I had so many ideas going through my head. But once I sat in my desk and pondered, I came up with an idea. I decided that I wanted to incorporate a word wall, story, and a game in my mini lesson. Using a word wall will allow my students to read, spell, and be familiar with the new words they are learning. Including a story in my lesson would be a smooth transition from the word wall, because the story would have the new words my students were learning. Thinking of an activity to end my mini lesson was the most exciting part of my lesson, because I wanted to do a fun activity that my students will enjoy. The activity that I chose to do was a game called "Word Bingo". Instead of having numbers on the bingo cards, it would have old and new words that my students have learned. Word bingo will provide my students with
practice in recognizing words. It was fun making a mini lesson on word recognition, because it made me to think of creative activities that can engage my students in learning and recognizing new words.

Hi Angela! I remember reading about the word bingo activity in our reading textbook. It sounds like such a fun activity to do with students. I think that are so many strategies that can be used to teach reading. When we become teachers, let's make sure to collaborate and share our ideas with each other so that we can help all our students learn to read!
ReplyDeleteHi Angela! the word bingo sounds like so much fun! I think using the word bingo game along with all the other strategies we are learning will help take the stress out of learning new words. I think I would also use the word bingo in my classroom!
ReplyDeleteAngela, I love your word wall idea. I remember incorporating a similar idea in my tutor room. I had a wall dedicated to the word of the day. I would give it to the students, along with the definition, and they would use it in a sentence and illustrate it. Then I would post up their images on the wall. It was a great idea, because I noticed throughout the lesson they would try and use in their vocabulary.
