Independent Practice Worksheet: Find the Same Two Words Set of three to four-word cards (e.g., bell, net, bell)
Learning Objectives
Introduction
Begin with a question: "Can you pick out the two words that are the same?" Display a set of three to four words to introduce the concept.
Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
Learn with an Example: Present a set of words (e.g., bell, net, bell). Pose the question: "Which two words are the same?" Emphasize the key idea: "A word is made up of letters, and a word always has the same letters in the same order." Provide examples: "Bed and red are different because the letters are not all the same. Rod and nod are different because the letters are not in the same order." Highlight the solution: "The two words in bold have the same letters in the same order. They are the same word."
