- The child chooses a card and reads it.
- The child then turns over the card, face down, and writes it on the paper.
- Then turn the card back and with the directress, checks what he wrote.
- If it is not correct, look with the child to see if the two are the same. (Helping the child self evaluate.)
- If it is correct, then he can take a sheet of paper and illustrate the written part.
- Once done, return the material to its spot and he can place the written and illustrated work in his designated shelf.
