Write the students’ first name (with last initial if two names are the same) on sentence strips.
Let the students watch you write their names and have them spell their names if they can.
Display the names in a pocket chart or other board.
As you put the names up, comment on letters shared by certain students or other common features.
Ask for volunteers to come and find a name they can read.”
