These are perfect for small-group instruction or centers! Slide them in sheet protectors or laminate and you can reuse them! You can print these cards double-sided (on the short side) so that students can self-correct!

This creates meaning for words that follow the phonics pattern they are learning. This is important in helping the child turn these words into sight words!
