I know some of you fortunate

teachers are already enjoying your

summer break. Not me! We have
school until June 25th. So, as we
approach Summer Vacation, I will add
this “Making Words” activity to my
Literacy Stations. My students
thoroughly enjoy the Making Words
Literacy Station, and they feel a
sense of accomplishment if they get
twenty words made in our thirty
minute Literacy Station time.

 Teacher directions:
Print letters on cardstock, then cut
them out and place them in a pocket
chart. (You could also print the
letters on regular paper, and then
laminate them for durability.) Provide
students with a copy of the recording
sheet. Students will make words using
the letters, then record their answers
on the recording sheet. I always like
to have an “If time allows” option, so
I include a writing activity as well.
Students may write a sentence using
the words they made, and then
illustrate their sentence.
