WORD WORK

Students are 'texting' their sight words on iPhones, 'typing' words onto iPads, and arranging their iPod playlists in alphabetical order.

See here for my previous post about this low-tech, faux-tech fun & the downloads!

RHYMES WITH CAT

HOP ON POP -OP WORD FAMILY

 REAL OR SILLY WORDS

This month we are reading Dr. Seuss stories. They are great springboards for introducing rhyme and word families.

I created this activity pack to reinforce word families {rhyme} as well as alphabetical order.

In the activity above, each card has four words on it, all from one word family. Students draw a card, then print the words in alphabetical order onto their sheet.

I provided a simple alphabet strip for those who needed a visual aid.

ALPHABET GEOBOARDS

At this station, students choose a letter template and try to replicate it using geoboards and elastic bands.

The geoboard letter cards can be found here.

LISTENING CENTER

I had never heard of Tacky the Penguin until reading about him on various blogs. Our local library had the book & CD kit available, so that made it a great center!

The student book response form is from Mrs. Jump.

SIGHT WORD BOOK

The sight word booklet is called Places We Go.

I am using this book to introduce the new sight words go and to.

It is available from Hubbard's Cupboard.

I love how this booklet adds new words to the previously learned sight words. The students are really reading now!

See my post here that describes a typical small-group lesson.
