Students can glue the words on paper and then draw pictures to go with their story.
This is a more difficult task that can be used with enrichment students or as students become more experienced writers. 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.
