$5 - $10 Task Cards (by price, high to low)

Medial Short Vowel direct instruction, stations, and Boom cards!

Students will use a variety of activities to reinforce understanding of medial short vowel sounds. When teaching medial sounds I use a roller coaster arm motion providing emphasis of the medial sound at the top of the coaster. To reinforce this, I have made a visual students can use.

Direct Instruction Activity -

• Use the roller coaster and cars to segment words provided on the picture cards. Students will drive the coaster cars, identify the medial sound at the top of the coaster.
• This activity can be done over multiple days - you can focus on one vowel at a time (bring in mirrors so students can see the placement of their tongue when annunciating the short vowel sounds). You can also mix up all 5 short vowel sounds to determine if students are able to identify their sounds.
• Pictures provided have a short vowel focus, with a bonus 20 long vowel pictures.

Stations - Laminate the materials for extended use.

• Clip Cards (30 cards) - use expo markers or clothing pin to select the correct medial sound.
• Sorting (30 pictures) - Sort the pictures to the correct short sound
• 30 cards with pictures and beginning / ending sounds. Students will fill in the medial sound

Short Vowel Tab book - For extra practice, or direct instruction complete a tab book with your students. I have included a different set of pictures.

• B/W and color tab book

Boom cards - 10 sets of cards in all (one location)

Set one: Students select the correct word from a choice of 3 matching the picture.

Set two: Students will select the correct picture for the word that is provided.

French Decodable activities that align with the Science of Reading in the K-2 French classroom. Students work on their phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, decoding and encoding skills and as they master the target sound.

Make a few copies of each card and insert into clear pockets to create a quick and easy reading centre; arrange a table with four copies to create a quiet reading group; use one-on-one with your students to assess reading levels, to gain insights to their decoding skills, encoding skills, and to inform your upcoming lesson plans. Students use whiteboard markers to sound out each sound in the word, each syllable, or each word in the sentence. What a great way to build confidence! Whatever way you choose to use this resource, I am so grateful that you have given this item a try!

Who can use this resource:

Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple sentence strips to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.

Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.

Sentences are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.

Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.

Science of Reading:

These cards are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!

Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven sentence strips on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

***1. French SOR Sound Cards

***2. French Decodable Reading

***3. Roles et Responsabilites

***4. French Number Line

***5. French Attention Grabbers

***6. French Speaking Passport

The WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! speech therapy articulation game was created to target the "th" sound in sentences to improve generalization and carryover in conversation. Use these initial, medial, and final r sound task cards for a super fun individual or group session. These flashcards can be paired with your students' favorite activities!

Get excited for tons of laughs in your next Speech Therapy Session!!

WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! is a super fun speech therapy game that will elicit a high number of trials while practicing speech sounds. Your students will love this game and keep asking for more!

This articulation resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target prevocalic "r" and vocalic "r" (intial /r/ and final /r/) at the word, sentence, and conversational level. Target carryover of initial /r/ and final /r/. This will encourage generalization of sounds in speech for the phonological process of gliding of liquids. We know that initial-r and final-r are very difficult sounds, so let's make them fun to practice. Research shows that children learn much quicker while engaged in play. This is the perfect game to help our students produce their sounds more quickly.

This is a great resource to use when children are stuck at the word level of a sound. Students will be very motivated to produce their sounds in these silly sentences.

Included in this resource:

• 12 prevocalic "r" (initial "r") task card question prompts with the following words: rain, rhino, rug, robot, rose, ring, rainboot, rocket, raspberry, rabbit, reindeer, rake, rainbow
• 6 monosyllabic "er" task card question prompts with the following words: stir, purse, earth, bird, turn, shirt
• 12 bisyllabic final "er" task card question prompts with the following words: tractor, treasure, hammer, clover, spider, farmer, sweater, zipper, blender, plunger, flower, scooter, feather
• 12 mixed vocalic "r" task card question prompts with the following words: iron, ear, guitar, chair, mustard, airplane, fire, popcorn, scarf, hamburger, ornament, garbage, smores, pear
• 4 Title cards
• 4 word list cards

This resource can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: gliding of liquids, labialization, initial consonant deletion, vowelization
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders leading to lack of posterior tongue bracing
• Articulation disorders to target initial /r/, final /r/, medial /r/
• generalization and carryover of R production in sentences and conversation

Used in Mixed Groups!

Vocabulary: State meaning of words, along with synonyms and antonyms.

Wh- questions: Ask who, what, where, when, why questions about each word.

Sentence production: Elicit full sentences containing each elicited word.

Complex Sentences: Use "because" to state the reason why an answer is wrong

Looking for ways to give your Lower Elementary students lots of practice with all four operations using the Montessori Golden Beads? These printable math task cards each have a 4-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division equation on the front (in Montessori place value colors!) and the answer on the back is represented visually with the Golden Beads. Self-correction is a breeze!

You can purchase Operations Booklets separately for children to record their answers to these questions. You'll find your students much more engaged with the booklets than with recording in a notebook or on a worksheet. You might also like the large version of these operations cards.

Here are some additional details to help you decide if this resource is right for you:

• Each card is 5.5" x 4.25".
• For best results, you will need to print double-sided.
• You get 10 static and 10 dynamic questions for each of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

This resource was created in order to help Speech Language Pathologists target initial phonemes at the word level. This resource includes a total of 40 pictured initial /h/ CV and CVC words to use the h-insertion trick during speech therapy sessions.

The h-insertion trick can be an extremely helpful strategy to use when children are stuck at the isolation level of a sound. By producing /h/ after the initial sound, the child continues their air flow, making it easier to produce the following vowel. This helps them to eliminate the prior habit of producing the incorrect sound.

*Can be paired with all initial sounds!*

If you haven't tried /h/-insertion, download this FREEBIE and see it work it's magic!

Included in this resource:

• 40 CV + CVC Initial-H Word Task Cards/Visuals
• 1-page complete wordlist for each initial sound
• Consonant letter cards for visual cues

H-Insertion can help target the following:

• Phonological Processes: prevocalic voicing, gliding, backing, fronting, stopping, deaffrication, labialization, denasalization, excessive nasal emissions, initial consonant deletion
• Motor planning and sound transitions for children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• Sound production for children with Dysarthria or weak articulatory musculature
• Myofunctional disorders including frontal lisp, lateral lisp, limited lip rounding
• Articulation disorders to target initial /b/, initial /k/, initial /d/, initial /f/, initial /g/, initial "j", initial /l/, initial /m/, initial /n/, initial /p/, initial /r/, initial /s/, initial /t/, initial /v/, initial /w/, initial "y", initial /z/

Used in Mixed Groups!

Vocabulary: State meaning of words, along with synonyms and antonyms.

Wh- questions: Ask who, what, where, when, why questions about each word.

Sentence production: Elicit full sentences containing each elicited word.
