Keys to Tricky Words - Suggestions for Use


  • Print off as is or select 2 in 1 or smaller on your printer for smaller sizing to make up as individual keyrings.

  • Use as a wall display in a larger size - use them each day as a reference during shared reading - demonstrate and model how the keys are used.

  • Ideal to reduce in size, print the black and white copies onto coloured card, cut them out and punch a hole at the top of each one.  Keep them together with a small curtain ring or key ring and send them home for home reading reference for parents.  Introduce at Parent Meetings.

  • Ideal for use as reference with your Guided Reading Sessions.

  • Please share your ideas for Teaching Reading Strategies with other teachers and parents in COMMENTS - below...

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
