Activities:

  •  Introduce the lesson by explainin to the students "why?" they need to know how to alpahbetize.  Talk about finding a phone number to order pizza in the phone book and show students what to do.
  • One way to make this process less abstract is by using a clothes line with letters of the alphabit on clothes pins.  The pins are clipped in order from A to Z.  Then the student uses vocabulary words cards or index cards with vocabulary words for the week and clips the word in the correct letter.  When finished, the students have placed their words in alphabetical order.  Then the student writes his/her words on their "Centers Notebook"
Anchor Activities:
  • Use Picture Dictionaries for students to find previously copied picture and word. Then students write the definition and the page number.
