Drill and Practice Extension Activities

Drill and Practice: 

• Drill and practice activities are designed for the student to practice the vocabulary words and definitions.
• Drill and practice activities should be quick, interesting, and engaging.  
• The activities are designed to give students at least one turn to express each target word and its definition.
• An example of a drill and practice activity is the Memory game. The student tries to remember the placement of each card so that s/he can obtain as many pairs as possible. Turning over cards repeatedly provides many opportunities to express the target words and definitions.

Strategies for Successful Drill and Practice Activities:

• Use each target word during activity.
• Ensure that the teacher and the student can provide definitions of each target words during activity.
• Encourage and/or reinforce student’s use of each target word.
• Encourage and/or reinforce student’s use of each target word definition.
