Provide each student with a card labeled with a

conjunction word Place large sentence strips around the room with sentences written on them leaving out any conjunction words Ask students to walk around the room reading the sentences When they find one in which they can put their conjunction card they will tape it to the sentence strip For example a sentence strip might say I tried to learn to juggle ____ it was very difficult A student with the conjunction but would be able to put his card in that blank When students are done placing their conjunction cards read these sentences as a class to see if they make sense

Provide each student with 5 cards labeled with a conjunction word Place large sentence strips around the room with sentences written on them leaving out any conjunction words Ask students to walk around the room reading the sentences When they find one in which they can put their conjunction card they will tape it to the sentence strip Sentences as a class to see if they make sense

Design a worksheet asking students to match 5 prefixes or suffixes with their meaning

Speaking and Listening Highlighter breathing

When speaking its important to emphasize breathing and pacing Remembering to take a breath is very important Proper punctuation is a great reminder of this For a student who can already read emphasize the fact that the end of sentence is a good place to breathe It may be beneficial to have a child write down something he has just said and then have him point out periods and commas Have the student use a highlighter to mark these spots as a note that those are good places to breathe Then have student reread what they articulated pausing at points they highlighted in their papers

Hand the student something to read and have them point out all the periods and commas Then have them use a highlighter to mark these spots as a note that those are good places to breathe Student will then reread what they articulated pausing at points they highlighted in their papers

With assistance have the student highlight all periods and commas in a paragraph Then while the teacherassistant reads the paragraph student will clap at all highlighted spots at the same time the teacher takes a breath This will reinforce that pacing is important while reading

Give the students 8 complex-compound sentences and have them determine the most logical way to divide the sentence into two clauses each with its own subject and verb Students can either cut the sentences where they think the break should occur or they can draw a line between the sentences

subjects you will not know where to separate the sentence In the sentence I walked past the dog it barked at me the subjects are I (the pronoun that performs the verb walked) and it (the pronoun that performs the verb barked)
