Explore 5 amazing games that make learning the 300 First Grade HMH Spelling Words a blast! With our 10 sets of Dobble-type cards spanning across the 12 HMH modules, your students will be engaged like never before. Choose individual sets or get the entire bundle for an immersive learning experience that guarantees progress!

The objective is to find the sole matching word between two cards, ensuring there is always one and only one word in common between any pair of cards in the game.

Each set comprises 31 captivating cards, each adorned with 6 words in different colors.

To create sets of 31 cards each, the words are meticulously arranged in the following manner:

Set 1: Weeks 1 to 5 (6 words each week) Modules 1-2*

Set 2: Weeks 6 to 10 (6 words each week) Modules 2*-4*

Set 3: Weeks 11 to 15 (6 words each week) Modules 4*-5

Set 4: Weeks 16 to 18 (10 words each week)Module 6

Set 5: Weeks 19 to 21 (10 words each week) Module 7

Set 6: Weeks 22 to 24 (10 words each week) Module 8

Set 7: Weeks 25 to 27 (10 words each week) Module 9

Set 8: Weeks 28 to 30 (10 words each week) Module 10

Set 9: Weeks 31 to 33 (10 words each week) Module 11

Set 10: Weeks 34 to 36 (10 words each week) Module 12

* Module split in sets 1 and 2 (Module 2), and 2 and 3 (Module 4).

This way every set had only 30 words, so I added 1 word to every set from the last studied set to get to the required 31 words to be able of having 31 cards instead of 13.

Content of this resource:

•The front and back design of the cards of the first module (3 weeks) and 2 weeks of the second module to be cut square.

•The front and back design of the cards of the first module (3 weeks) and 2 weeks of the second module to be cut round.

•The rules of the five quick games that you can play with these cards.

•Guides to print the cards.

Introducing Picture Pages, a vocabulary learning system all students (including English language learners and struggling readers) can use to master the academic language they need to succeed. After a decade of research and extensive classroom testing, the Vocabulary Magic™ team is excited to share this engaging and highly effective strategy!

Vocabulary Words included: chat, bend, coast, dusk, lean, grin, heap, leap, meet

Picture Pages was developed to address 8 key elements:

1. Provide students with the opportunity to develop and work in small learning communities.
2. Increased student-to-student opportunities for listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a sheltered environment.
3. The availability of relevant, interesting pictures and concise definitions that support student understanding and retention of new vocabulary.
4. Structured opportunities that help students to relate to new words and allow for discussion about prior knowledge/life experiences.
5. The availability of sentence stems and note-taking techniques that support speaking, writing, and summarizing in complete sentences.
6. A support system to encourage students to take academic risks and listen to different points of view.
7. The availability of timely feedback followed by an opportunity for self-correction.
8. Continued opportunities for students to engage with newly learned vocabulary in stories and game-like extension activities.

Picture Pages taps into the power of imagery, conversation, collaboration, and play to ensure all students (including English Language Learners) build-essential language skills. Intentionally teaching carefully selected high-utility words that appear frequently in the text across multiple content areas will boost student confidence, reading comprehension, and fluency. Each Picture Page introduces nine new words and is used with our researched “5-Step Process”. The new words are then presented in an intriguing, illustrated story, and accompanying activity pages (both printable and electronically on Google Slides). See the delight on your student’s faces as they master challenging vocabulary and watch their confidence soar!
