Engaging Language Kits
AVKO is proud to announce that we have have introduced a
new line of supplemental curriculum materials for
language arts:
Engaging Language Kits (by Brian McCabe). Each
of these
seven kits
corresponds to one of the levels of Sequential
Spelling to reinforce the word families learned in
that level. Each kit has over 170 pages of activities
for your students:
[Note: The books are not printed in color. The
e-books are displayed and printable in color]
Each Engaging Language Kit has the same four sections and
the same types of activities. The individual exercises
grow harder as one progresses through the series. The
types of activities vary in level of difficulty, abstract
thought, and vocabulary so your students will not get bored
or frustrated.
For younger children, the daily writing exercises can be
done orally and/or dictated. The most important
aspects of these exercises is engaging with the language,
using the words they have learned, and forming grammatically
and syntactically correct sentences.
- Daily Writing
- Inspire Me - Students write a story or
prose inspired by the image depicted. Great for
visual students.
- Quotables - Students write a reaction piece
to the quote given.
- Story Time - Students write a
story/poem/prose using the words given.

Dictation and
Comprehension
- Sage Sayings -
Students transcribe the proverb dictated by the teacher;
discussion follows.
- Picture This -
Students draw a picture depicting the literal or
figurative meanings of the idioms given.
- Pages from
Word Families in Sentence Context
- We have provided you with about 20 pages from Word
Families in Sentence Context that give contextual
sentences for some of the word families used in that
volume of
Sequential Spelling. They can be used for
dictations, handwriting exercises, or choral reading.
- Additional Quotes -
In the appendix, we have provided you with a few hundred
additional quotes that can be used for writing prompts,
readings for comprehension, dictations, discussion,
teachable moments, etc.

Word games
- Name 'em - Students are given a string of
letters. They name as many words as they can
that have these letters in them, in order.
- Scramblers - Students make as many words
as they can out of the word given, using some or all
of the letters.
- Word Searches - Students search for the
words in the grid of letters. The words used
are those tested on in the
evaluation tests of
Sequential
Spelling.
- Speech to Spelling Translation - This is
an unusual exercise where the students must
translate the sentences, written phonetically, into
proper English.
- Family Reunion - Students must use logic
and their knowledge of spelling to put the missing
letters back into the words given, using the bank of
word parts. Each word part is only used once.

Appendix Items for Even More Activities and

Sequential Spelling, one needn't be teaching
Sequential Spelling to use these exercises with students.
They can complement any language arts curriculum or
used just
for fun! They ascend in level of difficulty with each
volume (difficulty of the words used, level of abstract thought, word families presented,
etc.).
