Word Families, CVC Words, Reading Fluency, Reading Groups, Kindergarten, Home School, 1st grade, Interactive Notebooks

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).

Grab the annotation-supported digital and print copy of the novel here.

Make teaching short vowel CVC words fun with this engaging and simple phonics game**!**  This product includes 5 low-prep Build a Word Boards that are perfect for practicing encoding and decoding CVC words. You have a Build a Word game for each of the short vowels. Quick and easy setup plus clear student directions make these activities perfect for reading centers or independent practice. You could even use it as a whole class activity!

Five printable Short Vowel CVC Build a Word Boards are included in both color and black and white. There is also a key for each short vowel board. 

These boards were created with early readers and writers in mind. Instead of random letters like other word games, the letters on each board are specifically chosen to set the student up for success. 

Quick setup and easy-to-read student directions make these warm-up games perfect for independent work, a whole class warm-up, or even an extension activity for fast finishers. 

Here’s what you’ll get:

• 5 printable Build a Word Boards in color
• 5 printable Build a Word Boards in black and white
• Student response sheets
• Answer keys

Ideas for use:

This resource provides engaging activities in a printable PDF. The format is perfect if you have daily reading and writing stations or time for independent practice.  In my online classroom, we use the activity for our session warm-up or a brain break. 

Why your students will love this:

Your students will love practicing reading, writing, and spelling in a new way during reading stations or independent practice.  They’ll be engaged and having fun while playing with words and learning new CVC words.

**Prep is quick and easy…**Just print the pages or upload them to your online classroom, and you’re ready for a fun and engaging class!
