Instructional Ideas
  • Set a timer for the class—give each participant an arc and letters, time them as a whole, and roam to check the progress
  • Invite learners to work with a partner; one performs the activity while the other times them, then switch after one minute
Classroom Considerations
  • Make time to print and glue arcs to construction paper, gather timers and letter sets
  • The arc needs to be enlarged by 200% to be used in this activity
Pros
  • It comes with two arcs—one with all the letters, one with missing letters
  • Boosts speed and accuracy
Cons
  • None
