roll and read vowel digraph games - Want some word level reading games that make learning fun and allow students to practise targeted phonic reading skills? These phonic reading games are designed assist students practice their phonic knowledge and apply that to reading words with targeted graphemes. Choose the boards that target your specific phonemes and the graphemes you are teaching. These games are roll and read boards and ‘find the word’ boards. This pack is aimed towards phonics for Year One and Year Two but can be used for consolidation and remediation of students in Year Three. 136 pages.
These boards are differentiated by having a single grapheme on each board and then a consolidation, or extension, board is provided for each target phoneme that includes a combination of graphemes. This is an easy way to differentiate phonic activities in a classroom. When students arrive to the ‘Roll and Read’ table, they simply choose the board that has their target graphemes on. They can also use the ‘I found these words’ boards. In this game, the students tick the words as they land on them and write the word onto their board. I have also provided a sound box follow-up activity. Simply laminate these sheets or put them under plastic (reusable) covers.
Vowel Digraph Games includes the following graphemes;
ai, ay, a-e,
ee, e, ea, y , e-e
oa, ow, o, o-e
igh, ie, i-e, y, i
u-e, ue and ew (diphthongs)
Included:
One board for each grapheme introduced
A consolidation board is included with all graphemes for the target phoneme (sound)
Instruction sheet is provided for the teacher
Learning outcomes page
Teacher checklist to record skills used by students to decode the words (variety provided) plus vocabulary knowledge
Colour and black and white options for each board
Two editable boards and student checklists are provided!
The target phoneme is underlined on each board so it will prompt the student to say the sound as a whole (e.g. ‘feet’)
Most words are one syllable but there are some two syllable words included
136 pages in total (includes cover pages)
Laminate games or put them in plastic sleeves for reuse and save on printing ink. Please check your printer settings prior to printing (fit to page or print in printable area). Thank you and enjoy.
