Homeschool Reading Strategies Games (by date, oldest first)

The ability to break words into chunks is important to be able to read words later on! These rhyming cards are perfect for centers or small group practice! These cards give children the experience to practice the skill on their own!

Mix and match to increase the difficulty of the game. Includes 85 different CVC words covering short a, short e, short i, short o, and short u. Cards can be separated into individual games for each word family. Print cards on cardstock and/or laminate for durability.

Transform your CVC lessons with these fun cards! Help your students practice blending CVC words and become better readers with our Read and Reveal & Write and Reveal cards. These cards make learning to blend and read exciting. Your kindergarteners will enjoy using these task cards and have fun while learning to read. This perfect CVC practice is self-checking, boosting your emergent readers' confidence.

What's included:

1. 28 pages in PDF which included 129 cvc words. Refer to thumbnail for complete word list.

2. An option to use EASEL by TeachShare as digital tool.

How to use:

Fold the interactive "read and reveal" cards to conceal the picture securely using a clothespin, paperclip, or velcro. Students engage with each letter, articulating individual sounds before seamlessly blending them together to decode the word. Once they feel assured of their pronunciation, they unfold the card to uncover the corresponding picture, providing an instant and enjoyable self-check to validate their reading accuracy!

Extension idea:

The picture could be cut apart to make a matching game.

**Key Features:**

1. **CVC Blending Mastery:** Dive into the science of reading with our carefully crafted worksheets and picture cards. Students touch each letter, articulate each sound, and seamlessly blend them together to read the CVC word.

2. **Interactive Learning:** The inclusion of CVC picture cards adds an exciting dimension to traditional phonics practice. Students fold the card to hide the picture, challenge themselves to blend the sounds independently, and then unfold to self-check against the vibrant visual representation.

3. **Self-Checking CVC Worksheet:** Foster independence in your students with our self-checking feature. As they unfold the card, the revealed picture serves as immediate feedback, reinforcing correct pronunciation and boosting confidence.

**Product Highlights:**

- **CVC Blending and Segmenting Activities:** This resource goes beyond typical worksheets by incorporating dynamic activities that cater to both blending and segmenting skills. It provides a holistic approach to phonics learning.

These three pre-reading activities are the perfect introduction to the literature unit for The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne. The activities are anticipatory and get students in the mindset of Puritan and Colonial New England life, put in the shoes of the community members of those times, learn some initial vocabulary, and have the opportunity to tie this all together by writing what they think the novel is about based on these pre-reading activities.

What does this product include?

• One debate/discussion slideshow with 15 statements such as, "People should always be forgiven for their mistakes, no matter how serious the mistake."
• One group/class game "Secret Sinner"
• One printable worksheet with 8 vocabulary words such as "redemption" and "ostracism" for students to match with the definition. This worksheet has an added game in which when all the vocab words have been matched with their definition, students will unscramble the secret word (which is another vocab word), and they have space to write what they think the novel, The Scarlet Letter, is about based on the vocabulary words

How should I use these activities in the classroom?

You will ultimately determine how these three activities can be used, and they truly can be used in whichever order you see fit. And if you have a class full of students who are completely unfamiliar with the plot of The Scarlet Letter, I suggest completing the slideshow first, the Secret Sinner game second, and the worksheet third (or send it home as homework).
