READING POWER 20 MIN Foundational Skills in Action Today, campers will play a game that reinforces the foundational skill.
Fishing for Words 1 Objective Identify and read words with variant vowel digraphs. Get Ready to Play Display the “Variant Vowel Digraph Words” chart where all campers can see it. Divide players into groups of three or more. Print and cut out one deck of Word Cards for each group of players. Give each group a deck of Word Cards. Review the Word Chart. Goal Collect pairs (2 cards) or sets (3 cards) with words that have the same sounds but are spelled differently. How to Play the Game 1. Have a player in each group shuffle the Word Cards and deal 4 cards to each player in the group. The remainder of the deck is placed face down in a pile. 2. Have players follow the basic rules of “Go Fish,” taking turns asking the player to their left for a card with a specific digraph, making matches if the player has the card, or drawing from the pile if the player doesn’t have it (in which case that player says “Go Fish”). 3. Once players have two or three cards with words that have the same variant vowel digraph, they place the cards down and read the words. 4. The game is over when all of the cards have been matched into pairs or sets. The player in each group with the most matches wins the game.
Campers will play a game or complete an activity to reinforce the skill learned in the previous lesson.
