- Do the same with a different volunteer for each row.
- Ask some volunteers to think of some more short "a" words.
- "Let me show you what we're going to be doing today."
- Write a short "a" word they give you, sounding it out to write it, on a strip of construction paper.
- Do the same for a second word, but on a different piece of construction paper.
- Show them how the paper rolls so that the two pieces can fit together like a chain.
- Have the students go back to their seats.
