1st Grade Find and write the tiny HMH Spelling Words
By Ms Garcia Store
A great resource for working on the 300 first-grade HMH spelling words of the week writing the tiny words hidden in the drawing. There are a total of 36 weeks.
Download the first module of this resource for free when subscribing to our newsletter!!
Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny words of the HMH week hidden in the pictures of animals and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.
There is no better way to learn vocabulary than to write the words after paying close attention to how they are written.
There are two different resources available:
Both products can be purchased separately, but also together for a lower price.
Differentiation:
For children with greater ease when it comes to tracing the hidden words, I'd use the "Find and write" resource, while for the rest, I would opt for the "Find, circle, and trace" resource.
You will find three PDF files with three different font sizes of the hidden words for children with problems seeing words due to their visual ability. Use the one that suits each child or your group best. The two smaller ones will require the use of a magnifying glass, but most will be able to read the larger one without using it.
I hope your students enjoy this very motivating activity. Let me know in your comments.

Summer Bingo Vocabulary Game (with 25 boards) Reading Comprehension Engagement
By Reading Club Fun
Summer bingo offers a fun, active way to foster spelling, summer vocabulary, and listening skills. A high-quality game for a whole-class activity, or to put in a classroom center for kids to work on in small groups.
Follow us to learn about monthly freebies and deals!
Comes with:
• 25 different playing boards.
• 60 calling cards, vocabulary words and the letter of the column they are in.
• Quick Look Key – laminate and mark off to keep track of which cards were called. Helps to quickly verify winners.
• BONUS: Free Summer Time Word Search Puzzle to reinforce the vocabulary used in the bingo game.
How it works:
The caller shuffles the calling cards to mix them up, then reads the top calling card. It has 2 parts:
1. A spelling tip to help kids locate the column to look in. For example: "This word has the letter 'E' in it. This guides the player to look in the "E" column.
** Important Note: Because SUMMER contains two of the Letter M, the caller must specify whether the word is in column M1 or M2. This difference is made clear on the top of the players' bingo cards, on the clue cards and on the Quick Look sheet. ***
2. The definition or clue, required to find the vocabulary word.
When a player has covered 6 illustrations in a row horizontally, vertically or on a diagonal, they call out "Bingo!" and the caller checks their board.
Concepts explored: summer | summertime | bingo | game | vocabulary | spelling | listening skills | class | classroom activity | season | seasonal | party games | fun
