Flip+Books

-Megan Yearous
==Flip Books are a great SDAIE strategy for ELL students to practice their spelling words. Flip books provide a resource for students to practice their spelling words at home. It is a great visual tool that allows for plenty of practice. With the flip book, under the first flap the students will be able to become familiarized with their vocab words. The second flap will provide them their first opportunity to practice their spelling words from memory, and by the third flap they should be able to perfectly spell the words from memory. This is a great tool that gives the students practice in memorizing their spelling words.==

Benefits-

 * ==Students can use their visual and kinesthetic skills as they work with their word list.==
 * ==Flip books also help to encourage parents to get involved in the child's word study.==

Materials-

 * ==1 manilla folder per student==
 * ==Blank pages with lines for the spelling words==
 * ==//Look, Write, Rewrite// worksheet==

Process-

 * 1) ==On the front flap of the folder, cut two slits so that you are creating three equal flaps.==
 * 2) ==One the inside of the folder, on each new flap that you create place the three different categories that you have on the worksheet.==
 * 3) ==Cut out the three dfferent section of instructions.==
 * 4) ==On the first flap- glue the "Look at the word" instructions. On the second flap, glue the "Write the word in the center column" and on the third flap, glue the "Rewrite- write the word in this column from memory"==
 * 5) ==Then on the other side o the manilla envelope, the lined paper will go under each flap. Make sure to cut out the the lined paper so that it lines up with the size of each flap.==

This flip book can be used each week for spelling, you can staple many blank papers in each slot, or you can tear off the old one and replace it with a new one.
