Free Handwriting Centers

Check out this freebie for the word "the" that is included in my 1-100 of Fry's High Frequency Words resource!

1-100 HFW Resource

This resource is presented in an easy to use, kindergarten or first grade friendly format. Perfect to use after explicit instruction in the spelling pattern or irregularities associated with words that are sometimes not decodable!

Students use a variety of modalities to orthographically map the the word including:

• Finger trace
• Find and circle
• Write
• Color
• Read it in 2-3 easily decodable sentences
• Draw it
• Use in a sentence - A perfect way to introduce sentence stems!

This resource is perfect to use in ELA small group stations as it provides a visual reminder of what to do in each section for non-readers.

We all know that memorizing words is not the best practice as it relates to the Science of Reading. Using these sheets after explicit instruction will help young learners retain and practice their skills!
