Why do you need this?

Your students struggle to pay attention when reading or listening. They are wigglers who need something to keep them active in a positive way that encourages their learning. They have a hard time knowing what is important about a topic or a book, and they need specific prompts to know what to write and where to write it.

How can I help?

This is included in my Sequencing Activity Bundle available here

Use these practice pages to reinforce letter skills such as identifying beginning sounds, letter formation, and letter identification. Laminate or place in page protector for repeated use.

Use this activity to sequence the events in There was an Old Lady who Swallowed a Turkey. Each event is pictured on a turkey feather that, when completed, creates an adorable turkey that sequences the story. Print on cardstock to make it more durable or mat it on a large piece of construction paper. Students will color and cut out the turkey feathers and body, glue them together, and have a great "craftivity" that tells what happens in this adorable book.

This is included in my sequencing activity bundle available here.

Students will gain practice identifying and spelling primer level Dolch sight words with this fun spaghetti and meatballs game. Allow the students to select a spaghetti word bowl, or the teacher can "order" specific words on fun "Let me take your order" sheets. Perfect for small group instruction or early finishers. Print all sheets and laminate. Cut apart. You can add velcro pieces if you like to keep the metball letters secured to the spaghetti bowls.

Students can use this blending board to "drive" small cars to each letter, stopping at the circles to state the letter sounds. Students can "drive" the cars faster or more slowly to practice blending sounds to make words.

Print and laminate alphabet arc, picture cards, and arrow. Punch a hole where indicated on the alphabet arc and attach the arrow to the arc with a brad. 

Students will draw a picture card, place it in the box under the arc, and match the picture to its beginning sound (with the exception of boX for X) by rotating the spinning arrow to point to the correct letter. Alternately, students could turn over a card and place it in front of them, rotate the arrow to the correct letter, and then write the letter with a dry erase marker in the box below the arc for additional writing practice. Pictures coordinate with the key words from the Phonics First program, but this product is in no way related to Orton-Gillingham or its affiliates.

Download these PNG files to print and create your own bulletin board! Each letter is a full-sized sheet, so you will need to adjust what size you want to print when you go to print them (the size in the photo is printed as 5x7; two to a page).

The files are completely transparent, so you can print them as black and white (as pictured), or print them on colorful cardstock to match your color scheme. You can even print them in black and white and allow your students to color them in for a fun team-building, ice-breaker activity at the beginning of the school year! That's a great opportunity for them to take ownership of the classroom decor.

All letters are capital. Font and clipart from Picmonkey.com. You will have to unzip the files.
