I use this activity daily with kindergarten students.
Teacher prints each child's name onto a set of cards of uniform size.
Size of print is appropriate for large group reading. Pack of cards is replaced in pocket chart with the newly decoded name exposed and referred to by the students during the day when there is a task to be performed by the Helper. Digraphs can be indicated on the word card by underlining or color-coding. Teacher should use hand to obscure the letters on the top card, turn the top card over, or use a blank card to avoid having the letters from the top card in view of the children as they decode the new name.
