Along with drawing the King/Queen of the Day to make a book
for the King/Queen, we cheer the King/Queen....The student
says....give me an S....you've got your S, you've got your
S...give me a U...you've got your U, you've got your
U........for all letters. Then, the student asks, "What
does that spell? The class answers SUSAN! (REPEAT 2 MORE
TIMES). Then I write the King/Queen's name on a sentence
strip, cut the letters apart (while the King/Queen counts
the number of letters). I put the letters in a pocket chart
(out of order). The King/Queen puts the letters of their
first name in order. Depending upon the child, I may have
another sentence strip with their name for reference. Then,
the King/Queen calls up 3 FRIENDS (one at a time) to see if
they can build their friend's name. King/Queen tells
them, "good job!" The students really like this part!
