Tell the children that they will stack things on a train track and read and write words that end with -ack, such as stack, track, sack, snack, and jack.
Literacy Activities
Stack on the track
- Before the activity, set out a piece of toy train track or a paper train track.
- Cut out and attach a word card to each block.
- Teach the children the Stack, Stack, Stack chant.
- Assign a block to each of 4 children and have them read the -ack word that is on their block.
- Have the children repeat the chant and, when called for, let the 4 children stack their blocks.
- Repeat if desired, allowing other children to stack the blocks.
Identify, blend and manipulate sounds
- Let the children make different words from letter cards by changing a consonant or the vowel.
- Change a beginning sound(s): sack → jack; stack → track; snack → stack
- Change the vowel sound: sack → sock; stack → stuck; track → trick
- Change an ending sound(s): jack → jar; stuck → stub; track → trap
Read target words in a text
- Have the children underline the words that end in -ack in the Stack, Stack, Stack chant.
- Read the chant to the children.
- Engage the children in reading the chant simultaneously with you.
- Read the chant again, fading support.
Write about the activity using target words and phrases
- Display target words on a word wall (i.e., stack, track, sack, snack, jack) and then engage the children in one of the following:
- Re-read the target text and permit the children to write their own version of the text.
- Have the children write a sentence or two expressing ideas from the lesson activity or target text (e.g., I can stack a sack on a track).
