Fold several pages in half and staple together. Each day write a few words and draw a picture pertaining to the word. Teacher guide the students to suggest words that relate to the facts learned about Indians. Teacher guides the students to spell each sound in the word. Teacher asks for the first sound heard when you say hunting .
Students give the sound.
The teacher then asks the students what letter makes that sound. As the students say the letter for the sound, the teacher writes the letter on the chalkboard and the students write the letter in their word book until the word is spelled. Students then draw a picture to correspond to the word. This practice develops letter and sound recognition. Teacher puts the students' pictures into a slideshow presentation using a program such as Kid Pix or Power Point.
