107 Zeno Sight Word Game BUNDLE

Spring short vowel mini set - Included is one of each of the activities featuring short a.

Students will write and wipe or use manipulative letters. Students will build letters using flower petals, tap out sounds with Mr. Frog, and slowly talk with Mr. Turtle. Turtle and Frog are ready to be printed and attached to popsicle sticks for hopping / walking along each word. Use them again and again in your small groups or centers.

Turtle Talk

Materials - Picture cards, turtle

Directions - 

We will be talking very slowly like a turtle!  We call this turtle talk.  Look at the picture.  What is it?  Say the word slowly.  Tap out every sound you hear.  Write the letters on the card.  Use your turtle to walk and turtle talk the word you made!   

Flower Building

Use the letters on each flower to build words. Each set has 3 pages to provide appropriate support for your students. You will have one blank page, one with the medial sound written, and one with word families.

Hop along with MR. Frog then find a matching picture

I hope you like my sample set featuring short vowel a. I have an extended packet available for purchase that includes all short vowel sounds, and manipulative letters for a total of 88 words in each set.

Spring Short Vowel CVC - Word Blending, Segmenting & Building

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!

This is a PDF Form with the Third Hundred Fry's Instant Words. As the student reads the words, the assessor touches the box next to the word if it is correct. The form automatically counts the number correct and displays it in the upper right corner. There is also a table to add date and number correct to see improvement over time. This works very well on an iPad with an app like Adobe Expert. I like to use the Fry's Instant Word PowerPoint presentation in conjunction with this form.

These are basic 2 and 3 phoneme Elkonin boxes. I say a word and the students practice saying the sounds in the word while the circles drop down into the box. You could also say the sounds and have the students guess the word. Sometimes we think of what letter makes the sound and write it in the box. Circles drop on click into the box.
