Popcorn Words are words that keep "popping up" around us. They are high frequency words that are repeated often in books and print. These words will help us to be more fluent readers and writers. We will study 3 or 4 words per week. Each week these words will be added to our Word Wall in our classroom. The Word Wall is highly visible while we are working at tables. The children will be able to use the wall while writing in their journals. During the week we will do a variety of activities with our words. We will chant, spell, write them on our dry erase boards, play games, and sing the words to get a lot of exposure 3-to them. Every Monday your child will bring the week's words home to add to their Popcorn Words flashcard ring. Use the cards to practice the words at home!
