Why do you need this?

Your students struggle to pay attention when reading or listening. They are wigglers who need something to keep them active in a positive way that encourages their learning. They have a hard time knowing what is important about a topic or a book, and they need specific prompts to know what to write and where to write it.

How can I help?

A great resource for working on the 300 first-grade HMH spelling words of the week writing the tiny words hidden in the drawing. There are a total of 36 weeks.

Download the first module of this resource for free when subscribing to our newsletter!!

Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny words of the HMH week hidden in the pictures of animals and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

There is no better way to learn vocabulary than to write the words after paying close attention to how they are written.

There are two different resources available:

1. 'Find and write' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny spelling words of the week hidden in the pictures and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.
2. 'Find, circle, and trace' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny HMH spelling words hidden in the pictures, circle or line them, and trace the dotted words in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

Both products can be purchased separately, but also together for a lower price.

Differentiation:

For children with greater ease when it comes to tracing the hidden words, I'd use the "Find and write" resource, while for the rest, I would opt for the "Find, circle, and trace" resource.

You will find three PDF files with three different font sizes of the hidden words for children with problems seeing words due to their visual ability. Use the one that suits each child or your group best. The two smaller ones will require the use of a magnifying glass, but most will be able to read the larger one without using it.

I hope your students enjoy this very motivating activity. Let me know in your comments.

Exciting Memory Game to Enhance First-Grade Students' Mastery of HMH Spelling Words!

Explore the first 3 weeks of this amazing resource and unleash the full potential of learning by accessing all the weeks through the following link, available for only $6.50! The complete set comprises 36 distinct decks, one for each week. During the first 5 modules (15 weeks), students will practice 6 Decodable Words per week, followed by 10 words a week in the last 7 modules (21 weeks). An impressive total of 285 words to master!

How to Play:

The game begins with all the cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards reveal the same word, they must write it on their recording sheet and keep the cards. If the words don't match, they turn the cards face down again. The player with the most cards when all cards are taken is declared the winner. For students who find the game challenging, they can play with the cards face-up to make it more accessible.

Game Ideas:

- Play Memory Game individually or in pairs, depending on the students' comfort level with remembering and writing the words.

- Combine different weeks from the same module to reinforce learning at the end of a unit.

- Utilize the cards for countless games. For example, print the cards of multiple weeks or even modules, distribute them face-up to each table or group of students, and have them find the words you call out before others do. The first group to find the word keeps the card and records it. The group with the most cards at the end wins!

- Let students pick a card from a deck, write the word, and then select another one to continue the learning process.

- Foster collaborative learning by having students work in pairs. One student picks a card and dictates the word to their partner, who writes it down. Learning together through repetition!

- For added practice, have one student in a pair say the sounds of each letter in the word, while their partner writes it down.

If you have more innovative ideas, we'd love to hear them! Feel free to share your creative game variations in your review.

Printing Instructions:

To print the cards, first print the front of the cards. After that, reload the printed sheets into the printer and print the back design. For sturdiness, thicker paper is recommended, and you can even laminate them for extra durability.

Each module consists of 2 to 4 pages. Pages 1 to 93 are the front of the cards, while pages 94 and 95 are the back. You can try both designs to see which one aligns better with your printer. Additionally, page 96 provides 4 recording sheets to write down the pairs of words you create during the game.

Unlock a world of fun and learning with our captivating Memory Game designed to elevate students' understanding of HMH Spelling Words. Enjoy the journey of learning and discovery!

How to Play:

The game starts with all the cards face down, and players take turns flipping over two cards. If the two cards reveal the same word, they must write it on their recording sheet and keep the cards.

Ideas to Play:

- Engage in Memory Game sessions with High-Frequency Words, Decodable Words, or both simultaneously each week for a varied and dynamic learning experience.

- Integrate different weeks of the same module to reinforce word retention at the end of a unit, ensuring lasting mastery of the sight words.

- Utilize the versatile cards for an array of engaging games. For instance, print the cards of several weeks or even modules once for each table or group of students, all face-up. Challenge them to find the words you announce before other groups do. The first group to find the word keeps the card and records it. The group with the most cards at the end emerges victorious!

- Foster active learning by allowing students to pick a card from a deck, write the word, and then select another card. This repetition reinforces word recognition and writing skills.

- Encourage cooperative learning by pairing students. One student can pick a card and dictate the word to their partner, who will write it down. Learning together through rote practice!

- For an additional challenge, have one student in a pair pronounce the sounds of each letter in the word while their partner writes it down.

If you have more innovative ideas, feel free to share them with us in your review.

How to Print:

To print the cards, first print the front of the cards. After that, reload the printed sheets into the printer and print the back design. For sturdiness, use thicker paper, and consider laminating them for enhanced durability.

• Letter names and sounds and handwriting for all 26 letters (upper and lowercase)
• Reading and spelling of the first 25 Zeno Sight Words
• I spy page to identify sight words and upper and lower case letters

These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• Word Families: all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, and unk

These are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! Slide them in sheet protectors or laminate and you can reuse them! You can print these cards double-sided (on the short side) so that students can self-correct!

This creates meaning for words that follow the phonics pattern they are learning. This is important in helping the child turn these words into sight words!
