Students use the newspaper to circle known words using a marker.
List high frequency words, unit words, or spelling words on the board and have students find and circle with a marker the word in text. This activity is a great way to practice recognizing and identifying words in text. It provides a different avenue to word work. Most of all the newspaper provides a fun way to practice reading words. Use the newspaper at an alphabet center to practice abc order.
