Read each word and decide whether it has the target phoneme in it. If it does, they place it in the column headed ‘ar’. If it doesn’t, they place it in the column headed ‘not ar’. For added challenge, they can write out the words in each column instead. Aside from your standard sorting activity, this has been successfully used as a relay race/scavenger hunt. Hide the cards around the classroom, send the children off to look for them in relay fashion or in teams. A taster of a larger word sort package available in my shop.
