Students start their cars on the green letter and make the letter sound. Then the car heads to the yellow letter sound, and ends at the red letter sound. Then they drive across the road, blending the sounds as they go, to make the word.
So much fun!
They also have been working on these CVC mats, using letter tiles to create the words.
Both of these activities are from Jessica's CVC Mega Pack {here}.
(Did I mention how much I love this set?)
My students have also been practicing CVC words by s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g them out on these bubble gum mats.
They completed these activities as a literacy center, using magnetic letters and letter tiles. So fun!
These activities are from a set where students get practice with CVC. CCVC, and CVCC words.
My students have also been practicing sight words using these faux iPhones and iPads that have been printed out and laminated:
Students fill in sight words on the faux iPhone or iPad using washable markers.
Then they 'text' the words.
You can find the iPhone download {here} from Dragonflies in First.
You can find the iPad download {here} from Mrs. Gilchrist.
I made my students these sight word booklets, to use as assessment tools.
Stickers indicate the words that have been mastered.

Fun (and great!) ideas! Thanks for this post! :)
ReplyDeleteAnita I love the sight word sticker book. What a quick way to pull each kid and review their list in those little moments.
ReplyDeleteI also created one of the Sight Word Sticker Books and completely forgot about it until seeing your post!! Do you keep the book or do you ever send it home with the kids so their parents can see?? I really want to start using this but might have to wait until next year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sight word assessment idea. I plan to do this next year. I also like the iPad activity.
ReplyDeleteDid you laminate each piece of card in the sticker books? Just wondering about durability. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI don't laminate the sticker books. They are photocopied booklets, one for each student. I put a sticker next to the words that students have mastered, to show what words are known and what words need to be worked on. The booklets get sent home so that parents can help practice at home.
ReplyDeleteFor the sticker books, what do you consider mastered, and how do you keep track? Do you put the stickers on as you quiz?
ReplyDeleteI put the stickers on as we go through the list, and consider the words mastered when they are able to read the words fluently {not guessing}.
