This product was designed for students to practise their fine motor skills and prepare them for writing. It has been created with a summer theme, where a summer character needs to reach a desired item. The student then uses their crayon to follow the path until they reach the item. For extra practice, we first use a non-writing tool to follow the path before using a crayon. This product is in colour and black line. A front cover has also been included to create a little booklet. I would suggest laminating the colour version in order to make it reusable. Students can then use a dry erase marker to follow the paths. A key ring can be used to group them together into a fun centre activity. You can read how we use ours here.

Use these Lily pads to practise CVC fluency. Print the lily pads onto green paper (or any color you choose). Pin the ‘-at’ to a frog stuffed toy. If you don’t have a frog stuffed toy, print the frog included at the end of this product and ‘stick’ the ‘-at’ to it. All five short vowel sounds have been included in this product. Lay the lily pads on the table and students take turns springing from one ‘–at’ lily pad to the next, reading the words as they go. They can then record the ‘-at’ words on a white board should you wish to practice their writing as well as reading. Pin a new sound combination to your frog once your students have grasped –at. Students at different tables can also be practising different sounds and then move from table to table. Visit my blog Learning with Sunflower Smiles to see how I used them. You may be interested in my other long vowel, short vowel and blends activities. Visit my store to check them out. Happy teaching! Margaux

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.

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.

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 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.

CVC Sentence Reading 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.
