Note when students recognize and use framed language in various print contexts as this demonstrates that students have incorporated this language into their reading and writing vocabularies. Observe students' application of graphophonic knowledge during reading of unfamiliar print and during writing efforts. Framed language should be orally familiar to students and passages should contain relevant and familiar content. Framing can be used for whole class, small group and individual instruction. In English, each line of printed text progresses from left to right.

The strips could be cut apart into word cards and students could arrange the words to reconstruct the verse or passage. Framing can be used in predicting activities. Cover lines or words in a text. Students can read up to the hidden text and predict language and story events.
