  •  Anchor charts build literacy in the classroom by giving the students visuals. Posting anchor charts around the room will allow students to refer back to the charts as a reference when they have a question, need to expand ideas, or contribute to discussions and problem solving when they are in class. Students and teacher fill the anchor chart out together. The teacher should have part of it filled out before the lesson is taught. 

Advantages: 
  • Students can help fill out the anchor chart with their own examples that they come up with. 
  •  Students can create an image that will help them remember the concepts that they are learning. 

Disadvantages:
  •  Students might not learn using visuals. Students may create an image that will not help them remember a concept.

  • Students might take too much time drawing out a picture of the word.

Advantages:
  •  Students can refer back to the words and use them as a reference when they need help with spelling, reading, or writing. 

Disadvantages:

    •  For word ladders, students are given a starting and ending word. These words are the same length such as "fly" and "cry". The students must change one letter at a time in each ladder to try to get from the starting word to the ending word.

      • Fry (l-->r)
      • Cry (f--->c)

    Advantages:      
    • Word ladders allow students to work with words and their spellings and think about different words that will help them get to the ending word. 
    • Students work often with rhyming words when doing this activity.

    Disadvantages:
    •  If a student struggles with spelling they might struggle with this activity.
    •  Students might get confused with how to get to the ending word if it is too complicated for their vocabulary.

    • Word sorts allow students to sort words by different categories. There are different types of sorts such as open sorts where the teacher only provides the list of words and not the categories and the students categorize them on their own, and closed sorts where the teacher provides the categories and the students sort them according to the given categories. 

    Advantages: 
    • Allows the students to sort words in categories that make sense to them. 
    • Allows the students to categorize words by what they are and what they mean giving the students more knowledge about the words they are sorting. 

    Disadvantages: 
    •  If a student is unsure of the meaning of a word or the categories for the words, he or she might not be able to properly sort the words.
    •  For open sorts, the students might categorize words in a way that makes sense to them, but isn't exactly what the teacher is looking for.
