To best connect the process of decoding CVC vocabulary to the process of encoding as a reciprocal skill, which of the following activities should the teacher have the students engage in next?

While copying words can help with recognition and handwriting practice, it does not actively engage students in the encoding process. This method primarily focuses on visual reproduction rather than the active manipulation of sounds and letters necessary for true encoding skills.

This activity encourages students to identify CVC words, which is beneficial for decoding skills; however, it lacks the hands-on practice involved in encoding. It does not require students to construct or spell words themselves, which is crucial for developing encoding abilities.

Although word games can enhance recognition and fluency with CVC words, they typically focus more on decoding and recall rather than the active encoding process. While beneficial in reinforcing CVC recognition, they do not engage students in the physical act of spelling and constructing words.
