Letters can be put in the middle for pupils to form their own words, or handed out and played in a similar manner as Scrabble.

Also, as all vowels are on one page and consonants on another, it is useful to print each on a separate colour to help pupils recognise vowels vs consonants. ps.

These activities are intended to lead into a larger project on giving a presentation. The idea is that pupils will choose a controversial issue to then use their presentation skills to prepare a talk for the class. Start with the starter picture projected on the board or as a handout. Use the phrase and image to push pupils to give their opinion and back it up. Break pupils into small groups and hand out the list of controversial statements. Have them discuss each. Get pupils to brainstorm a big list of controversial issues on the board which might make good presentation topics. Instruct pupils to choose one for which they must prepare a presentation. This may be done as homework or if presentation skills have been an ongoing topic, it could be blended into class preparation.

Cards should be printed on coloured paper or cardstock so that words are not visible from the backside. Ten sets should be handed out shuffled to each pair to play memory. Rotate the sets of 10 so pupils get practice with all 100 sight words. Afterwards, pupils can be given quick spelling tests based on these words or dictation sentences using only words from this selection. ps.
