Long I Vowel Board Game

(0)
Long I Vowel Board Game Spell Quest is a board game which reinforces the Long I sound. The vowel teams included in the game are y, igh, ie as well as i_e. The game is broken up into four colored sections: Green – Write the Word by looking at the picture. These cards have a QR code option (and one without QR codes) which will reveal the correct spelling once the code is scanned – making it self correcting. Blue – Use the Word in a Sentence. Orange – Draw the Word. Purple – Act the Word. Only the GREEN cards have QR codes. Drawing and Acting cards have been included to add a fun, creative element to the game. The cards still require the students to read the word and know the meaning of it in order to complete the task. A game board has also been included in this product and everything is in colour and black & white. The black & white version looks great copied onto the respective coloured paper/card. An instruction card is also included. This game has been designed to co-ordinate with the other Long Vowel sound board games so that cards can be added to the packs as the sounds are covered in class – meaning the game can be adapted throughout the year. I trust your students will enjoy this activity! Margaux

CVC Sentences Task Cards

CVC Sentences Task Cards This set of 96 task cards is the perfect activity for children who are ready to read their CVC words in sentences. Students read each of the two sentences on the card and indicate which sentence is true by placing a mark in the correct box on the right hand side of the card (use a dry wipe marker on a laminated card to make them reusable) , or by placing a peg to indicate the correct option. This set has been divided into four sections. The sections have been determined by the sight words used in each group. Below you can see which sight words are used in each section (words are : Orange: the, on, it, is, in, red, I, a, and, am. Green: like, and, to, for, has, go, see, blue, he, she. Blue: then, them, will, with , put, at, one. Yellow, my, by, come, this, look, you, up, two. I would recommend starting with the orange section and moving to the green, then blue and finally yellow as progression takes place and sight words from the orange section may be present in all the sections. I trust your children will enjoy this activity. Should you have any queries or suggestion, please contact me at margauxlangenhoven@gmail.com Margaux

Alphabet Foreground and Background

(0)
Alphabet Foreground and Background coloring pages Use this Alphabet Visual Foreground and background activity to reinforce both. A US and UK version of this product is included in the download. The development of Visual Foreground and Background is important in students as it allows them to differentiate between items on a page and later on words in a sentence and on a page. Without the ability to do so, images and words blend into one another and the student is unable to distinguish the difference. Students need to color the letter and its corresponding picture. They then also practise their fine motor further by writing over the dotted letters to form the word of the picture they are colouring.

100 Number Chart (Ladybug theme)

100 Number chart (Ladybug theme) This Number Chart consists of the numbers from 1 to 100. Odd numbers are characterized by green borders and a ladybug in the bottom left corner. Even numbers are characterized by red borders and bunting at the top of the block. Multiples of 10 have an additional picture of little leaves as well as the bunting to differentiate them. These cards can be placed in a square as a hundred chart or in a horizontal line around the classroom as a number line. I created individual number cards to make it easy for numbers to be removed in order for students to identify which ones are missing or replace those that have been removed to act as a center activity or manipulative resource. Additional blank squares have also been included which can be used to cover the numbers and if laminated, students can use a white board marker to write the number of the card that the blank card is covering.

Identifying Alphabet Sounds

Identifying Alphabet Sounds

(0)
Identifying Alphabet Sounds This is a set of ‘identification of alphabet sound’ cards. Each card contains pictures which begin with the featured letter as well as pictures which don’t. Students need to identify the pictures beginning with the featured letter and circle them. I have included a set of colored cards which can be laminated and used in a literacy center as well as a set of black and white printables. These can be used for class work or homework consolidation. Simple, colorful pictures have been used to appeal to younger students. A subtle spring theme makes this resource perfect for this time of year, but can also be used at other times as well. I trust your children will enjoy this activity and that it will be beneficial. Happy Teaching! Margaux Created by Margaux Langenhoven from "Learning with Sunflower Smiles"

Alphabet Sort Use these little Raccoon families to practise the alphabet, initial sounds and word recognition. How to use this product: Help Daddy Raccoon to reunite with his family. You can select the level you wish your students to complete this activity. Matching Daddy Raccoon with Mommy Raccoon will practice Upper and Lower case. Bring in the older brother and sister to practice initial sounds and then finally include younger brother to bring in word recognition. By printing these on larger pages, these would make a beautiful Alphabet chart with a twist. A worksheet has also been included where students can record the families and practice their formation of the letters and words. Page two of the worksheet can be printed a number of times and a little book can be constructed with all of the letters.
