Craft

During the Reading Block each week, each student has a turn to work 1:1 with a teacher-aide on a craft activity. The craft that they make is used to reinforce/consolidate the letter/sound of the week. The activity involves tools and exercises that develop fine motor control eg: stapler, hole punch, cold-hot glue gun, glue stick, coloured pencils and felts, paintbrushes, scissors. The skills that are developed are: colouring, painting, cutting, glueing, hole-punching and threading, weaving, stapling etc.
