RDP Room 2303

Brains learn best through PLAY! Come prepared to play elementary literacy games that incorporate literacy dice, letter tiles and word decks. Game and strategies are easy to differentiate to meet the needs of all students including regular, ELL and special ed. Games will focus on: learning the alphabet and its' sounds, word patterns and rhyme, spelling simple CVC words, vocabulary boosters, vowels and blends. These games can be used whole class, small group or in centers, and can be adapted for intervention and assessment. Ideas are easily transferred to home practice and family literacy games nights. Handout will contain gameboards, ready to use Monday a.m. This is a fast paced, hands-on session!

NOTE T PROGRAM CHAIR: We need a table set up for this session, lots of manipulatives.
