Direct Instruction:
1. I will review spelling words with the students by playing spelling bee. I will divide students into two
groups. Two students from each group will come to the front of the room. I will call out a spelling word
and the student to write it on the board and correct the fastest gains a point for their team. The first team
that reaches 20 wins. I will keep count of the points on the marker board.

2. I will pass out a blank sheet of paper and tell students to write their spelling words two times each.

3. After students are done, I will let them go back and check their spelling. I will tell students to fix their
mistakes.
