I am set to speed off to tell you all about the SuperSpeed!!!!
SuperSpeed has to do with sight words. It is a lively, entertaining game designed to teach beginning readers of any age from 100 sight words to 1000.
Only 100 sight words make up over 50% of all the words students read!
SuperSpeed 100 contains 100 levels. One new word is added in each level from 1-100;
There is a Challenge at every 10 levels which contains all the words from previous levels. When students have mastered Level 100, they can go on to SuperSpeed 1000
Let me tell you what it feels like at my school seeing all the non-native English speaking kiddos reading all those words.
We have them all sitting in twos (If you have an odd number of students, just make it three.) Now remember that you are the teacher and you know how to pair them up making sure to sit a weaker reader next to a stronger reader.
Once they all are seated they will start reading for one minute switching as they read one word each and yes!!! ‘helpsies’ are allowed because we want kiddos to support each other. When they
don´t know a word they will have someone there to help.
Isn´t that great!!!
After a minute, they will be called with a class getter and each pair will record the word they got to on the page and then, start again for another minute from the first word they read and see if they can beat their score. Student that started second, will start first this time.
It will be the most enjoying moment of the day. Why?
Because kiddos are going to break their record over and over again. It will be forever game.
My class loves it and so will yours!
