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.

This product was designed for students to practise their fine motor skills and prepare them for writing. It has been created with a winter theme, where a winter 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 center activity.

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.

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.

These Beginning Digraph clip cards can be used to practise words with Beginning Digraph (ch- , sh-, th-) sounds and is the perfect center activity.

There are also some blank cards for extra pictures. A list of the words is also included, which students can paste into their workbooks and use as a reference. Students can use a clothes peg to identify which spelling is used to create the long a sound in each picture. If clothes pegs are not available, students can write with a white board marker on the laminated cards. Holes can also be punched into the cards below each letter. Students can then thread a straw or string through the corresponding hole. Should you have any queries or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me on margauxlangenhoven@gmail.com.
