Introduction
(5 minutes)- Gather students together for the start of the lesson.
- Pretend that you are going to write a note to one of your students. Begin to write the note on your whiteboard or chart paper, starting with “Dear.” Then pause and think aloud, “I want to write ______’s name, but I don’t know how to spell it! I wonder where I could look?”
- Display the word wall and explain to students that a word wall is a spelling tool that can help them spell words.
- Explain that students need to start by figuring out the first letter of the word they are looking for on the word wall.
