Alphabet, CVC, and High-Frequency Word (1-25 Zeno Words) Games
By K3 Homeschool Foundations
Reading and letters can be FUN! These games are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! I give different tips and tricks to work on each skill! I would use these as a Friday fun day during small-groups and my students loved them! These games don't have any prep! Print and play! I would suggest laminating or sticking in a sheet protector to keep them nice for a longer period of time!
Includes:
All 26 letters of the alphabet
Letter names and sounds
Reading words with word families
Reading words with short vowels (a, e, i, o, u)
Reading 1-25 Zeno High-Frequency Words
Roll and Read
Board Games
Bingo
Phonemic Awareness Cards R-Controlled Vowels
By K3 Homeschool Foundations
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 vowel so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!
-Includes
-vowels; ar,or,er,ur,ir
-R-controlled vowel words with a picture
-Sound boxes on the front
-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

Adaptive Books Wh questions "Who" & "What" task cards, print and go worksheets
By Until the Pieces Fit
Adapted Books with a focus on "Wh" Questions: "What" and "Who" is a set of four books designed to help children learn and practice their comprehension skills. The set includes two books with a focus on "what" questions and two books with a focus on "who" questions.
Extend student practice through print and go worksheets, task cards, and a sorting activity.
Adaptive books are a valuable tool to use with students. While the books do require some prep work such as printing, laminating, cutting and velcro; they can be used again and again! They are highly motivational for even the most reluctant learners. Each book has 8 picture icons to choose from. You can easily adapt by sharing less options with your students.
What:
Book 1: What do you wear? is a fun and interactive way for children to learn about appropriate clothing choices for different weather conditions. It presents various scenarios and asks children to choose the correct clothing to wear for each situation. For example, "It is a sunny summer day and you want to go swimming". What will you wear? Clothing for all seasons is included.
Book 2: What are they doing? is designed to help children practice predicting and understanding cause and effect. It presents various situations and asks children to determine what the characters will do in each scenario. Children can reinforce their understanding by stating what they would do in each situation. "I will... Situations include: Cooking, painting, playing ball, crying, cleaning, eating, reading and sleeping.
What/Who:
Book 3 & 4: This book is available as either Who lives here or What animal lives here. They are a fun and engaging way for children to learn about different animals and their habitats. It presents different locations and asks children to choose the animal that lives in each place. Support is provided with a hint for each animal to help children who may not have prior knowledge of the animal's habitat or characteristics.
Example: Book 3 - Who lives inside a home? Book 4 - What animal lives inside a home? Hint: I am soft, cuddly and I meow. Animals include: starfish, bunny, skunk, penguin, fish, bear, whale and cat.
Book 5: So many jobs! Who will do them? is designed to help children learn about different occupations and the roles they play in society. It presents various jobs, including traditional careers such as teacher and firefighter, as well as more unusual careers such as rockstar. This book encourages children to think about what they might want to do when they grow up. Jobs include: teacher, farmer, ball player, firefighter, police, fisherman, cook & rockstar!
Book 6: Who will do it? This book presents a problem (I need or I like something), and a solution (who I can get this from). For example, I like cookies. Who will bake them? or I need groceries. Who will I pay?
Print and Go:
Continue practicing student understanding of "what" and "who" questions through 16 additional practice pages.
- 2 pages of sorting pictures into "who" and "what columns.
- 4 pages of identify and color pages.
- 10 pages of matching a picture to the "who" or "what" question. These will require a student to cut and paste.
Task Cards: All cards are colorful and made to be laminated and reused. I store mine in small containers (pictures in preview)
- Clip cards "what": Students will identify the correct picture from a choice of 4. Clip with a paperclip or laundry clip or laminate and circle with a dry erase marker.
