Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each digraph so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the digraph you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each digraph!

-Includes

-ch, sh, ck, ph, th, wh, wr, kn, qu

-Digraph words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

This is a NO PREP, print and go resource that is perfect for CVC writing practice. Students use the picture to write a sentence using short i CVC words, 9 pages of awesome practice for your students!

Differentiated to meet the needs of all learners in your class!
