Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Read through the text again and have learners identify the high frequency words (vocabulary) in the text. List them on the chalk/white board. Focus on five words per week. E.g. brother, sister, father, mother. Pronounce the words 3 times and have learners repeat. Then have pupils say the word aloud and call learners to repeat the word two more times. Have learners read the words in the big book again. Show the word on a flash card and ask pupils to read the words. Practise reading the words over and over
until the learners become automatic in recognizing them. Learners write the words in their word banks and on the classroom wall chart and play with it throughout the week.
