$5 - $10 Pre-K Reading Strategies Resources (by date, oldest first)

These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• All 26 letters of the alphabet
• Long Vowels
• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh

Let's be honest, phonemic awareness can be SO boring for our students! Whenever we are working on it they want to use the words in sentences or want to see a picture of what that word means! Now they have a picture to connect to the word!

These cards are so much fun my students beg me to work with them! I let them choose their manipulative; whether it is play-dough to tap, legos, chips, or blocks! This also gives those kiddos struggling with blending and segmenting a concrete method to gain those skills!

The cards are broken into each vowel sound so that you can easily practice phonemic awareness with the vowel you are working on. You can also mix them up so they can practice the skill for each vowel!

-Includes

-a,e,i,o,u

-CVC words with a picture

-Sound boxes on the front

-The word and amount of sounds on the back for self-correction!

It is important for a child to understand what a syllable IS and how to break words apart into syllables! When children begin to read and write multisyllabic words it will be vital they understand how to break the word into their syllables! This is a great hands-on and engaging way to work on syllables! Pick a manipulative that your child wants to use and get to work! Use them in centers or during small group!

These keyword letter cards will help your students remember their sounds! When you add pictures and keywords research has shown it helps in the retention and retrieval of information.

Included:

• Mnemonic keywords
• All 26 letters of the alphabet
• Long Vowels
• Digraphs; th (voiced and unvoiced), ch, sh, ck, ph, wh
• Vowel Teams: ai, ay, ee, ea, ey, oi, oy, oa, oe, ow, ou, ue, ew, au, aw, oo
• Word Families: all, am, an, ang, ing, ong, ung, ank, ink, onk, unk
• R-Controlled Vowels: ar, or, er, ir, ur

I always have my kids create actions that go with the pictures. This allows them to be active while doing letter sounds! Research shows that adding movement to learning can also help in the retrieval and retention of information.

Getting your students engage while learning is key, these word family posters will help your students remember their short a word. The following short "a" word families are included on this packet:

an, at, ad, am, ab, ar, ap, ag.

Print, laminate and put it on your pocket chart, or wall.
