Decoding activities including differentiated instruction:

• Play stretch and snap. Teach students to s—tr—e—t—ch a word out by its sounds and then to snap the word back together to aide them in oral recognition of the word. Frequent practice of this technique will help students identify words that stump them while reading. Teacher may use a slinky to show the students how to stretch the word.
