Hi, my name is...

            In an effort to make students more aware of some common words they're often reading incorrectly, we changed our names last week.  Everyone wore a name tag with a frequently misread word on it.  All day we called each other by our new "names."  Students walked around introducing themselves to partners and reading the words.  It was a fun way to reinforce these words, and I've noticed that students are reading some of those words more carefully now.  In fact, I'm thinking of many other uses for this activity...commonly missed math facts, spelling words, math symbols...
