Print and laminate alphabet arc, picture cards, and arrow. Punch a hole where indicated on the alphabet arc and attach the arrow to the arc with a brad. 

Students will draw a picture card, place it in the box under the arc, and match the picture to its beginning sound (with the exception of boX for X) by rotating the spinning arrow to point to the correct letter. Alternately, students could turn over a card and place it in front of them, rotate the arrow to the correct letter, and then write the letter with a dry erase marker in the box below the arc for additional writing practice. Pictures coordinate with the key words from the Phonics First program, but this product is in no way related to Orton-Gillingham or its affiliates.

NO PREP; SOR ALIGNED HIGH-FREQUENCY WORD PAGES| When we know better we do better! High-frequency words need to be mapped in our brains! I use this sheet as a quick practice for my students during small group or center time! I use the 107 Zeno word list because these words comprise 50% of all text. No need to teach 300 words! That is more work for you and your students! With this resource, you can easily differentiate what words you are teaching! Throw away the boring flashcards and opt for a resource that ACTUALLY WORKS!

Use in centers, small groups, or as an early finisher activity. My kids are always begging me to play this game!

This game includes all 107 Zeno Sight Words. I teach the 107 Sight Words because they are the most narrowed-down list of the most commonly used words in texts. It is important your child can read these words quickly and accurately for success in reading! 

I broke the words up into 8 sets so that each set would have 52 cards to keep the game engaging and not too long! This also allows you to easily differentiate the game by choosing the set that has more words that your child needs to work on! Each set is color-coded so if cards get mixed up you can easily find their place!

Included:

• Go Fish Rules

• 8 sets of cards

• Each set has 52 cards

• Endless amounts of fun!

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!

It is important for your child to gain confidence when learning to read! They need to practice reading stories with the phonetic pattern they are learning! These decodable readers are perfect to work on sounds, reading digraphs, reading high-frequency words, and stories with digraphs. I have a scaffolded option that includes the sounds, words, and high-frequency words in isolation that they will see in the story! When they are done reading the story you can work on comprehension with a few quick questions about the story! Tip-you could have them highlight all of the words with digraphs in the passage and have them read those in isolation before reading the whole story!

Included:

5 digraph-specific passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)

5 mixed digraph passages (scaffolded and regular) (th, sh, ch, wh, ck)

*All of the words use a short vowel

These letter cards are great for your students to practice during small group time as a fun game! You can even make it interesting by telling your students that if they find the correct letter they get to keep the cards, whoever has the most cards in the end wins!
