The hands-on reading activity of assembling “cut-up” or “mixed-up” sentences is a popular tool for teaching children to read. This approach is integrated into numerous reading philosophies and practices, including many prominent basal reading programs, the Reading Recovery® program, and the Four-Blocks® Literacy Model. You may even remember this activity from your own elementary school days. This time-tested theory has been proven both fun and effective. Learning to read while getting to cut and paste is a multi-sensory experience that helps meet the needs of children with different ability levels and learning styles.
The activities in Sequencing Cut-Up Paragraphs also helps children meet many of the national and state reading standards. When children participate in cut-up sentence activities, they develop skills and strategies that will assist them in comprehending, evaluating, interpreting, and appreciating what they read. They will learn one-to-one correspondence between spoken and written words, left-to-right directionality and return sweep, to recognize uppercase letters (as a cue for the beginnings of sentences) and ending punctuation, to distinguish letters from words, to read high-frequency words, to connect experiences to text, and to use sentences to share information. Additionally, English language learners (ELL) will practice using common English sentence structures through cut-up sentence activities. Also included are a wealth of ideas on how to use this fun, helpful resource.
