28Some Suggested Pre-Literacy Activities
• Put the capital or lower case alphabet cards in center of table in two or more
messy piles. Ask teams of the students to put them in alphabetical order. They
can use the binder handout to look at the letter sheet as they do this task.
• Have students spell words with the alphabet cards.
• Put flashcards on table and let student arrange them into sentences
• Give a money Bingo card to each student. Have them make a blank grid on a
piece of paper and write the amounts of money shown in the corresponding
square of the Bingo card.
• Bring in library books that are about the students’ countries of origin. Be sure
the books have lots of pictures. If they are from the children’s section they
might have a few words that the students can read but don’t make reading a
task or the focus of the exercise. The idea is to let them have fun. Have the
students use the books to tell about life in their native countries or anything
else they want to share. This is especially good when the students come from
several different countries.
• Help students become familiar with books by asking them to locate pages in
Word by Word and naming one item on the page.
• Create a folder for each student in which samples of his/her class work and
writing can be stored. Use the folder to discuss the student’s progress and
allow the student to have the folder at the end of the session.
• At the end of each activity try to have students relate phrases to their own life.
For example, I live on … (have them write their address). My phone number
is … (have them write their phone number).
• Have students write an “autobiography” to include in folder. Progress from
very short info at beginning to longer sentences at end of session.
