We will break into two lines A-L and M-Z keeping alphabetical order. The leader of the line will read signs that we pass in the hallway for their group. The order of the lines will change daily and will help the student recognize letters in the alphabet and their alphabetical order. The student will be able to collaborate with one another about the order. The group leader will change daily so the students will recognize what letter will come next. They will be encouraged to read labels and signs as they pass them in the hall to advance their reading skills. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Assignment (homework or in-class: this is how the learner will practice the learning that has just occurred): <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In class the students will have to work together to figure out who goes where.
