Less than $5 2nd Grade English Language Arts Homeschool Curricula (by price, high to low)

If you are anything like me you hate using physical cards because you lose them, or just simply set them down and forget where you set them. I create slides for each day of instruction. This helps to create seamless transitions from each subject.

I love having these sound cards in my Powerpoint because I can add or delete sounds throughout the year and shuffle them around so the kids don't memorize the order!

Included:

All 26 letters

Digraphs: ph, sh, wh, ch, ck, th (voiced and unvoiced)

Long vowels (silent e)

Word Families; all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk

R-controlled vowels: ar, or, er, ir, ur

Vowel Teams: ai, ay, ee, ea, ey, oa, ow, ue, oe

Diphthongs: oi, oy, ow, ou, ou, ue, ew, au, aw, oo, oo

As students are learning the 52 primer sight words in this product, they will be provided with each word, an example of the word used in a sentence, and the opportunity to make up a sentence themselves using the word. I find that with my students who are Deaf/hard of hearing/ELL, when they make up sentences using the newly learned sight word, it helps them to remember how to spell the word, the meaning, and how it is used. My students love booklets of any kind that they can refer back to. Once they have come up with their sentences, they can include pictures that they print and cut out, draw pictures freehand, or find pictures in a magazine that they can add to each page of the pre-primer sight word booklet that matches each sentence they come up with. This gives students the opportunity to connect what they are learning about in the classroom with their own personal interests. This booklet is perfect for students that are on grade level as well as students who require instructional information to be adapted.

If you are interested in the product above, the sight word checklist may be of interest to you as well.
