Writing Lesson Plans

Color Coding & Magnets

I used 26 large pieces of white tag board and glued the letter in red at the top and then laminated each card.

I added magnetic strips to the back and I attach them to my wall which is a black board from ceiling to floor. I attach at the top and just tape the five words each week.

In years past I have used neon colored tag board - different colors - to create the words. This year I will only use two colors. One color for all the words that can be used to create other words with ex. day - pay, say..... and the words that are just high frequency words will be one other color - Pat Cunningham uses the word wall all during the year to do activities with and the children need to be able to locate the onset/rime words easily.

You could put a star beside them or back them with another color, etc. When I type my words this year I will print them on tag.
