Multisensory Monday- /nk/ and /ng/ Families
Posted by Brainspring on 29th Oct 2017
Welcome to Multisensory Monday! The -ng and -nk endings can be tricky for students. Here is a creative multisensory activity to help students visualize the -ng and -nk endings as “families”.
Materials
- DOWNLOAD TEMPLATE
- Stapler
- Scissors
- Paper
- Glue Stick
- Marker
Directions
- Fold pink, inner paper in half (“Hamburger style”). Fold a second time.
- Using the downloaded template, trace and draw “people” on completed folds. Make sure to cut only the top (head) and bottom(legs) so that you are left with connected “people.”
- Using a ruler, make five lines for the headings and dictation words.
- Students can color or decorate the “people.” Make hair by simply wrapping pipe cleaners around a pencil (one at a time is better) and stapling to the tops of the heads. There are endless possibilities!
