I am in a kindergarten classroom this year so I try to adapt each reading and activity to a lower level. While reading Yopp and Yopp's article "Ten important
words plus: A strategy for building word knowledge", I especially liked the activity about finding words to create the main idea. I thought this would be perfect for a kindergarten class to do! We could do it during a read aloud and they can write down the words they think are the most important to the story. Afterwards, I thought it would be a fun idea to share the words they wrote down and make a Wordle out of them! Do you know what a Wordle is? If not, check it out!

The more times you put a word into the site, the bigger it is ! So if my kindergarten class read Goodnight Moon and everyone thought 'moon' was an important word, it would be big in the Wordle!
