Adding a little action to your reading lesson makes learning more exciting. This ball toss activity is a fun follow-up to the book, The Ball.

Wild West – Lesson 18
I can decode sentences.
Objective: To decode sentences. (RF.K.4)
Materials: sentence strips, ball, basket, wipe-off board, marker
Procedures: Write decodable sentences on sentence strips. Your child will choose a sentence strip and read the sentence. For each word that she reads correctly, she gets a tally on the wipe-off board. Then she can earn a bonus point by tossing a ball into a basket. If it lands in the basket, she gets another tally. After all the sentences have been read, she can count her tally marks.
Conclusion: Your child will read each sentence again and choose two sentences to write on lined paper.
